isabeltavares 's review for:
Witchy, Vol. 1
by Ariel Slamet Ries
This arc was provided by Oni Press, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
3.5
TW: death of a loved one, bullying, misgendering (challenged)
I knew I was going to adore this just by the first chapter. Ries' wasn't afraid to make us sad and nervous about Nyneve and her struggles.
As you've read, your magic is determined by the length of your hair. The longer it is, the more powerful you are which can be dangerous. Nyneve appears to have short hair and her magic is difficult to control so she is constantly bullied at school.
The way the world is drawn, I was absolutely mesmerized. Nyneve's home was so cozy, I wish I could stay there and enjoy the surrounding views. And I adore her mother and how fiercely protective she is of Nyneve.
It was such a fast-moving novel and I can't wait to see what the future holds for our main character!

In the witch kingdom Hyalin, the strength of your magic is determined by the length of your hair. [...] However, those with hair judged too long are pronounced enemies of the kingdom, and annihilated. This is called a witch-burning.
