3.0
A sweet, enchanting story full of queerness, family and witchy magic.
The plot was quite lackluster but the art more than makes up for it, bringing to life all the lovely characters, like the grandmothers' (we needed to know more about their own witchy exploits!), Nova and Tam (tooth-rotting sweet sapphics), Nova's scientist friend Tatyana and of course, cousin Terry.
I especially loved that Nova wore hearing aids and the small glimpses we saw of their presence in her life and the workarounds required to practice magic with them.
