Witchlight by Jessi Zabarsky

mehsi's review against another edition

A really sweet and adorable and adventurous manga about a witch and a girl who go on adventures together (mostly to find Lelek's soul). The start was a bit eh, given that Lelek kidnaps Sanja, but quite soon thereafter the girls are growing closer and I just love seeing them together. Loved their little moments of romance, of sweet gestures, and more. These two fit together so well and I loved their relationship. I loved seeing both of them grow in their skills, in how they do things. I hope I say it right, because I am dead tired. Haha.
I wasn't a fan of Sanja's brother, but I did love other characters that we meet along the way. Like Sanja's grandmother!
There were moments that had me swooning, moments that had me frustrated, moments of sadness.
The art is just absolutely the best and gorgeous, I would love to have some pages as a print on the walls in my house.

So precious and creative! I love how the magic was done and I wanted to hug all the characters. Some fun fairytale elements and I loved the lessons in forgiveness and friendship and finding your purpose in the world.

I won't act like this was a bad book, but it felt really rough, like a first draft. The ideas were super cool and intriguing. With a little more finesse I don't doubt it could have been a 4 or 5 star book.

This graphic novel was a chore to get through. It was very disjointed and confusing. The plot is nonexistent and jumps erratically around causing many gaps to happen that the sequence of events make no sense. Specific action scenes are very hard to follow and the characters are non-dimensional. Flat and no characterizations.

I like the story and the message. The cleaver magic design is interesting and beautifully drawn.
