Crying because I love Hooky so much.
The art continues to stun and feel like magic visualized on the page. The older designs for the characters! They are so perfect. The journeys these characters have gone on! Hooky remains adorable and delightful and magical with depth and darkness (and humor too!) My only critique remains the pacing–and I cannot say how that all plays out in the Webtoon version (yet) but I imagine it to be steadier with a more rewarding pay-off. As it is, the time jump was so much fun and gave the story/world a pause and boost, but it felt a little rushed. We pick up after years and we can feel those missing years. I'd like to know more about the development of the characters in between volumes and I think the story would benefit from exploring that development on the page. Individual moments remain skillfully written and executed, but they are strung together with a pulsing, speeding energy. I think the story and the development we do get on the page needed some breathing room. In the end the rush made this final volume not stick with me as much as the others. But aside from that, this story has pretty much everything you could want. And I love it. So much.
I need more stories like this, and I'd really happily take some aimed at adults.
I see myself revisiting this one often.

I doNT say this for every book: but I GENUINELY feel empty now and I want to go back into this world. Miriam you’ve made me connect and bond with these characters and I’ll miss them so much

AHHHHHHH IM IN LOVE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU DEAR AUTHOR FOR THIS PRECIOUS BOOK
5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ [Spoiler Free Review]
What an absolutely charming, magical series.
I picked up Hooky Vol. 1 & 2 on a whim when I saw them on a bookshelf at my bookstore that was labeled “graphic novels for kids.” The cute styled artwork and the witchy aesthetic drew me in, and I was looking for a nice, lighthearted read.
This series blew me away. Being listed as a graphic novel for kids doesn’t fully correlate to the impact this book had on me and my emotions. I think kids would thoroughly enjoy this book, but there was so much depth to the characters and the story, the politics of the world and the adversities the characters faced. I did not think I would fall in love with this series as hard as I did. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I loved.
Family mixed with found family, romance, action, adventure, fantasy, and magic all combined together in this delightful series that I highly recommend to anyone who could use a little bit of joy in their lives.

Una storia carinissima divisa in 3 volumi, che ho letto con piacere durante la cozy-spooky season perché è in grado di dare entrambe le sensazioni

What the hell…….my kids are all grown up and so big…….. 😭😭😭
I took forever to get around to reading this, so I genuinely felt the effects of the time skip. At first I was so confused because I didn’t reread any plot summaries or anything but wow, after a bit it all came rushing back to me and got me nice and emotional about all these wonderful characters!!!
Anyway I’m glad with the ending. It’s sweet, it’s compassionate, it’s gay—what more could you ask for in a graphic novel trilogy about dismantling the power structures that perpetuate violent misunderstandings between people by way of enforcing hierarchies that ultimately keep diverse communities from developing?

This comic has been such a ride! I first read it when it was published on Webtoon. A beautifully drawn fantasy story with characters that I think will stay in my heart forever
