I kept up with this as a webcomic for a long time so it was such a pleasant surprise to see these published into physical books!! It has such engaging characters and a fascinating magic system and world building. The art is super dynamic and pretty and I really have no complaints! I fell in love with this series all over again

Thanks to NetGalley for supplying this e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

Witchy is a graphic novel that tells us the story of Hyalin, a land where the length of a person’s hair determines how powerful their magic is. When the Emperor felt threatened by the length of a witch or wizard’s hair, he would burn them to maintain the kingdom without rebellions. However, that was before he had been defeated, and now, though the new ruler seems honest and just, he too might be hiding some dark plans for the land of Hyalin.

The concept for this graphic novel is incredibly original, the magic system and the history of the land and people, was all fascinating to read about. But unfortunately, I felt that something was missing. I wasn’t able to connect with any of the characters and the plot didn’t grip me completely. Though the magic system was pretty original and interesting, the plot wasn’t original at all and that surely influenced my enjoyment of the story.

Nevertheless, though this might not be a new favorite, I am glad I gave it a go.

Happy reading,
L

I'm really excited to see how this story plays out. There is so much detail and already a rich history in this world. And there's some strong Kiki vibes in the art.

Oh my god this story better have a fucking sequel!! The art is fucking GLORIOUS AND THE EXPRESSIONS ARE SO FUNNY!!! The story is so intriguing and I love the character designs. I’m so inspired just reading this story.

I love the concept of a trans mean girl, btw. As I was telling my friends, The idea that she’s trans makes her relationship to her gender pretty complicated and more so thought out, i feel like. but also it causes it to be that the queer character isnt automatically nice, because idk its like. That whole idea that minority characters *have* to be nice or else its a disadvantage.

I love this story and THERE BETTER BE A SEQUEL!!!!

I really liked this! I didn't know that it was a series, but now I'm excited to see where the story goes! I feel like a lot of this first installment was a lot of set up for what is to come, but I really enjoyed it! I read it in one sitting. Nyneeve is a good main character. Also I loveddd Banana, hahah. Such a good, quick, witchy tale.
