It was so cute! It took me a little bit to get into it but after half way I couldn’t put it down.
I’m so excited to see Dani come into her power and what she will do with it. Also I think that William and Damien are gay for each other.
also nico in Alexes clothes is peek gender

The first 6 chapters bored me to tears — the writing was awful, the characters two-dimensional and annoying. I wanted to DNF pretty much right away BUT I didn’t give up on it. The moment in Chapter 7 when Nico gets turned into a pixie (tint guy) really started to change the dynamic of the plot. The story got loads better, more authentic, more original, more heartfelt. The characters really grew on me too — Nico being my favourite. The art was pretty good too. I also loved the side-kick animal characters.

I absolutely adore the art style of this middle grade comic! ❤️ The characters are delightful too. The story is interesting, but the pacing really needs an editor. Some of the panels are also a bit confusing to read because the speech bubbles are out of order. Overall, I loved watching the action unfold and the story emerge from the woodwork even if it does take a long time to get there. Also enjoying having LGBTQ side characters.
