Oddly Normal, Vol. 1 by Otis Frampton
2.0
¡Hola, mi gente! Today I'm back with a review of a middle-grade graphic novel that I expected to truly enjoy but sadly I didn't.
Oddly Normal is about a girl named, you guessed it, Oddly Normal. She's a half-witch with green hair and pointy ears that do not fit in in her school. She has no friends and is constantly getting bullied. But what happened when her parents vanish and she has to move to the one place that her mother said she shouldn't go? This is her story. It sounds interesting, right? Well, it wasn't. Practically nothing happened in this story and honestly, it was just... boring. The characters were boring, the plot was boring, and you knew who was the villain the moment you met them which took away from the thrill of wondering who was the villain. Honestly, everything about this story was bland. It pains me to say this because it's an arc—thank you Edelweiss and the publisher for this arc. Also, I am not THAT bad with arcs and I know this came out 5 years ago but I JUST got the arc—but it was just so damn boring.
The art of the world and the creatures that live in it was great but the art of the main characters was just meh.
I am giving this book two stars and that's only because I don't hate the book. Do I recommend it? I hate to say it but no.
Rating: ⭐⭐
