Did I read both Garlic and the Vampire AND THEN Garlic and the Witch in one sitting? Yes. Was book 2 just as gloriously cozy and lovely as book 1? YES.

The illustrations are gorgeous, the lessons are heartwarming, and the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ rep (including a gay vampire and a non-binary carrot) were genuinely the best surprise this series could have bestowed upon me!

This is a must read graphic novel series for children and adults who just need a cozy fantasy narrative!
