I'm currently on a graphic novel roller coaster and this so far is my favorite! The world setting and magic system are always something I focus on in these kind of plots and I love the one in this book! The art style is spectacular especially the backgrounds and the coloring of the whole novel! I also love how the population/cultures are mixed and the way it feels natural.
In this book, the length of your hair is what decides how much magic you have. But if your hair is deemed too long, then you can be seen as a potential threat to the kingdom and will be witch burned. Nyneve, our main character, witnesses the burning of her father and since then have hated the system and fears she might end up dying too. During the conscription, which is where they choose who's joining the Royal Guards, she tried to sabotage her team so that she wouldn't be chosen but in the end, she was. What she does next is what makes the novel so much better and jumps the plot further. I can't wait to read more of this!
I found out that there are some trigger warnings in the website so check it out if you want but everything is mostly mild.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

I'm not a big graphic novel fan, but this came in my Owlcrate so I thought I'd give it a try. This is a great story about magic and a standing up to an oppressive regime. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the next installment.

Art was beautiful! Story is a bit slow, but hopefully it picks up in the next one!
This was ok- I think the magic being related to hair thing was really stupid. But I loved the representation it had.
