A sweet, beautifully drawn, queer read, but kind of a mess plotwise. Also, pretty much the first thing Lelek does is kidnap Sanja, which is never a strong foundation to build any kind of relationship on.

As a frequent reader of teen graphic novels I really liked this book. It had good pacing and enjoyable art. I liked the main characters and the plot was easy to follow.

Minor: Murder, Death, Kidnapping, and Death of parent

The death of a parent and kidnapping of a relative are very minorly displayed. Both are motivations for characters are are not covered in depth.

one of the main characters temporarily dies after someone kills her for her background.

The opening premise still doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this read! I loved the art and character development throughout this graphic novel, and the story is a lot of fun. Always delighted to stumble on books with LGBTQ representation as well! 

📚 The gist 📚: A witch kidnaps the daughter of a merchant, and they start to go on adventures together looking for the missing part of the witch's soul. 

📒Representation📒 LGBTQ, wlw, bipoc mc, multiple body types, disability (granted, a magical one)

💕 For readers looking for 💕: beautiful art, fun adventures, friendship, romance, magic
