The Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag

4.0

“I regret what we did to Mikasi every day. It was not his magic that was wrong, but what we denied him. Don't do the same to Aster.”

"The Witch Boy" follows Aster, a young boy in a family of magic where girls are expected to become witches and boys are expected to become shapeshifters. Aster finds that, in spite of his community's gender standards, his actual interest is witchcraft. But will his family let him do what he wants, or will Aster have to conjure up his own path to pursue his dreams?

My Rating : 4⭐

Though I was expecting a lighthearted read, I was surprised to find that it provided much more than mere entertainment. It was a delightful and enchanting comic that weaves together themes of identity, family, and acceptance in a captivating magical world.
The artwork in "The Witch Boy" is both charming and expressive, bringing the magical world to life with vibrant colors and detailed illustrations. Each panel is filled with emotion and personality.
All things considered, "The Witch Boy"  was a compelling comic that masterfully  blends exquisite graphics with a potent  message. It was guaranteed to captivate readers of all ages.
