A big thank you to Ten Speed Press and Netgalley for sending me an advanced copy of this book!

This comic is light and fun and so so so cute! 
I originally read this comic when it was coming out weekly on Webtoon. Webtoon and I used to be very close until they started to add pay walls. When I was still a frequenter of the app, Katie's story was one of my favorites to read. I immediately read the newest chapter the moment she posted it.
I am so happy to see it coming out in print form. Katie Cook is a genius of adding in cute pop culture references in a story that is mostly about magical lands and creatures. It allows the story to be lightly anchored in reality so the reader can to relate to Callie and Declan. You feel like their friends and not just a bystander observing a story.

The art is beautiful and whimsical! They characters are fun and loveable! What more could you ask for?

Thanks Katie! I love the story and can't wait to support you in the future!

I also can not wait to see the next addition of the story, especially because I haven't read that one yet!
