I really enjoyed this but I feel like there either needed to be more of a buildup to the romance aspect or this strictly needed to be friendship focused. Gorgeous artwork though, and the overall plot was better than some non-graphic novel fantasy books I’ve read.

I really enjoyed the art in this book as well as the light in some pages. The story to me was alright but it made up for that with the amazing illustrations.

THE CUTEST BOOK I’VE READ THIS MONTH. The graphic is so good so does the story! Doesn’t know it would be this fast to finish it (or maybe because I enjoy it?). I’m so happy to see Jo and Orla finally together. It’s a short graphic novel but still meaningful though!

"Family isn't about being the same. It's about looking after one another.”

Jo and Orla must complete a series of tasks to help save the town. There's some fun little creatures and fae.

The art and page layouts were pleasing to look at!

Jo’s family was so wholesome and sweet. It was nice to see them joking around with each other.

Queer sapphic / WLW rep
