A review by isabelleverdino
Coven by Kit Seaton, Jennifer Dugan
2.0
Alright to start, I love queer graphic novels. The art in this one was beautiful. On the other hand, I just did not like the characters. The story frustrated me more than anything.
Ok I know we needed Emsy to move back into this coven with no knowledge of it so that the readers could learn about the coven with her. To be honest, though, if my parents made a decision to move away to give me a normal life, did not in 16 years work to have me connect with THEIR coven, and then suddenly ran TOWARDS the danger at my expense…
I was a kid who moved around a lot anyway and I can’t imagine moving for the first time as a junior in high school. ANYWAY I was so bothered by the logistics of this setup that it took me a WHILE to focus on the story without that.
And even though the art style is GORGEOUS and I’m attracted to at least half of the adults drawn in this book… I did not like them. Made me feel like an angsty teen again but maybe that was the point?
