4.5
This was such a warm story, written with heart and beautifully drawn. The main romance was sweet and healthy. I think the grandmothers were my favorite part, I want to be that kind of wholesome-but-feisty when I'm their age.
I'd have given this five stars except for some cliches, but they were all in good fun. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it for YA readers who want to see Queer, Nonbinary, and/or Deaf representation!

cozycritiques's review against another edition
- Mooncakes
Tropes: Paranormal Romance, Friends to Lovers
Representation: LGBT (Nonbinary/Trans), Disability (Hearing Loss)
CW: Kidnapping, Confinement, Violence, Death of a Parent
I don’t read a lot of fantasy graphic novels, but after Mooncakes, I will definitely be reading more. The diversity representation is done really well and woven throughout, so it doesn’t feel forced. The illustrations were beautiful and warm, giving the book an overall cozy feel that I loved—especially since a lot of the fantasy I ready leaves me with the opposite of cozy feelings. Overall, his was a short and sweet story with great world-building and an adorable side romance.
