"Jessi Zabarsky's lushly illustrated shoujo-adventure comic that introduces Lelek the witch as she blows through town one day, kidnapping the peasant girl Sanja. The unlikely pair grow more entangled as they travel together, looking for the missing half of Lelek's soul- the source of her true magical abilities. Both women are seeking to learn, in their own ways, how to be whole again. This book collects the serialized story all into a single-volume, including the heart-griping conclusion and other all-new material."
My Rating: 3.5/5
This graphic novel was so sweet, and a quick cute read to enjoy. That being said, it was in the Young Adult section of my library and I would argue that this book could be considered middle grade, there is no real violence, or anything romantic that a 12-year-old couldn't have handled. It also just wasn't too fleshed out or complex to follow. Not that it's a bad thing, but for me, this book was just ok. I would recommend it to younger teens or middle-grade teens who are into graphic novels that include a romantic interest.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
