I received an ARC copy from Lion Forge via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
CW: Death of a parent (in the past), bullying
Witchy takes place in a kingdom where your hair length determines how powerful your magic is. The longer your hair, the more powerful you are. But if your hair is perceived as too long, you’re considered an enemy of the kingdom and are burned for it. We follow Nyneve as she deals with being forced into a path she doesn’t want and resenting the kingdom for killing her father because of the length of his hair.
For whatever reason, the art was really not my thing. I think it might have been the colours chosen as well as I found the lines to look a bit sloppy.
I think the premise is a pretty cool one and I did enjoy what we learned about the world. However I found I didn’t really understand much about the world, and made it a bit confusing as to why certain things were happening.
The characters did have clear motivations which I enjoyed, but I don’t think any of them will leave a lasting impression on me.
I really appreciated how diverse this graphic novel was. There are multiple people of colour as well as a trans girl.
There were quite a few humourous moments that definitely lightened the tone.
Whilst reading I did enjoy the plot, but this volume only just scratched the surface of it and it wasn’t enough for me to feel like continuing.
Overall, this did nothing new for me but was a quick and fun read for the most part.

They keep releasing chapters. All of them awesome. Will wait for the rest to come. :)
A very enjoyable story to read. I am waiting forward for more.
I would love to see this as an animated series. There were moments where I felt like I'd missed some backstory though, so I wonder if some tidbits were lost to editing? All in all, a solid foundation for what I hope is to be a series?
Hard hitting, pure and emotional.
I adored the magic system in this and the vivid world that has been created. I loved the diverse characters, really wish we'd been able to learn a little more about some of them. That being said, I cannot wait for further installments of this.

This is an OwlCrate graphic novel. I thought it was okay. I won’t be continuing and I will un-haul this one.
Spoiler...
This was the extra owlcrate book! This got a little too complicated at the end (throwing in tons of info I knew wouldn't be expanded upon until #2), but I enjoyed it overall! A quick read. I loved the bright, bold colors even if I didn't always connect with (??) the art itself. I'll definitely check out subsequent books if they end up at the library or I can find them for cheap
