A really good found family, coming of age story. Some of the turns taken were predictable, but much like a comfort movie even knowing some turns did not diminish the pleasure I took in reading it. Other turns I did not see coming and had a few OH! moments. Beautiful scenery, lots of description. Overall a very lovely read.

Season of the Bruja is a fantastic young adult graphic novel about Althalia, a young bruja learning about her abilitites from her abuela. This graphic novel was instantly engaging and threw you into the action from the first panel. The artwork is crisp and clean and just what I like from a graphic novel, and as a person who has read many a graphic novel for all ages, this is a good one.

I personally loved the showcasing of Althalia's culture, the dialogue felt natural, and the feeling of the graphic novel as a whole felt cohesive.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I look forward to the other volumes.

Thank you to Netgalley and Onipress for the ARC!
