I was provided an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars!
This was quite a interesting read. First the world and its magic system was truly distinct, especially based on hair of all things. Like any fantastical based story it was hard to get into the world and how the magic works, this took off a bit of the enjoyment. Same as trying to understand how the rules on magic based on hair and what is allowed and what isn't.
We follow our main character Nyneve whose father was killed in a witch hunt, since then she hides her long hair with magic, pretending it's much shorter, which causes her to be bullied in the school they are trained to see if they are gonna join the guard force that serves the kingdom.
I like our main character same as the side characters, the mother-daughter relationship between Nyneve and her mother was really sweet. This story also featured a trans side character which I absolutely adore!
It's a very interesting story regarding what it's expected of you and what you truly want to do and I'm very curious to know more.

I’m super interested in where this story is going to go- I do wish we had more information on how the world operates and the motives of the characters but it’s a series so I’m sure we’ll learn more in time! That art is gorgeous and I like the humour.
3.5 stars
Stunning artwork, just not sure if I love the storyline yet. Will definitely read a second one if it gets a sequel.

Art was beautiful! Story is a bit slow, but hopefully it picks up in the next one!
I actually really enjoyed this graphic novel! The length of one’s hair determines the strength of one’s magic! But Nyneve doesn’t care about all that. Looking forward to book 2.
