An absolutely lovely story!

Love Potion is about a witch, Blair and a princess, Cinnamon and their journey to love. Between the beautiful illustrations adding a magickal touch and the story itself, I couldn't help but smile the whole way through this witchy book! And, Blair's companions, Ob and Zog are just the best - I loved them!

An overall gorgeous book, inside and out. Definitely recommend picking this one up if you're seeking an illustrated queer, feel-good fairytale. This will be a book I treasure for a very long time.

It's easy to fall in love with this magical short story. Not only does it have the enchanting atmosphere of a fairytale, it's also funny and unexpectedly recognizable. I loved the interactions between Blair and Cinnamon as of the beginning, and when I finished the story, I had a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. Sounds cheesy, but in this case, it was actually true. This witchy romance just made me swoon (and the unicorn made me laugh out loud). And the illustrations <3 These are so, so very beautiful. I cannot wait to read more by this author/illustrator duo!
