alandd's review against another edition
3.0
The story was entertaining and had some attractive scenes, but it was so simple and linear most of the time that I couldn't get into it. However, I would buy it for a child; something tells me anyone younger than me will enjoy it more than I did, maybe even adults that read the original story, which I've never been interested in getting. Good reading, though.

This was very cute! I wish I knew the story it's based on (the classic Little Women), it probably would have given me more insight into each character as an individual; instead I had a hard time keeping track of who was who... it even took me until like halfway through the book to realize "Marmee" is the same person as "Mother," haha. I did enjoy the historical-fiction-meets-magic worldbuilding, especially the "disrupter" (anti-magic) power.

This one was okay....
It uses the main characters of the classic Little Women and adds in a witchy twist. The interesting thing is that the witch aspect isn't the biggest change - I thought it was the personalities of the characters. I thought the original characters were more sympathetic to each other and just...friendlier in general. In this graphic novel, the girls have envy and short tempers. However, the mystery plot line was pretty good and the art was cute.
