Witchy, Volume 1 by Ariel Slamet Ries

4.0

4 stars - It was really good

This was a fascinating story about witchcraft, persecution, and coming of age. Nyneve is haunted by the death of her father by the Witch Guard and knows that she will most likely have the same fate. She does everything she can to hide her long hair, which is tied to the strength of the person's magic, but it doesn’t work out. She finds herself on the run and trying to figure out her future. I really liked Nyneve and this unique world. I can’t wait to see what happens next int his story. 

Trigger Warnings: death of a parent, bullying, transphobia, misgendering, persecution of strong witches
