Welcome to Litsy!

It hurt to bail on this, since it contains the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch word “Chestnut“ 😂 but it really wasn't working. Too whimsical for my taste, and the premise that the main character is blind and so has no idea her aunt is literally a monster just didn't sit well with me.

I‘ve been reading a lot of middle grade graphic novels lately and they do not disappoint! This one started out with a sad event but quickly moved on to adventure and mystery. Something about the thread of the story seemed convoluted at times but not so much that i lost it altogether. Loved the artwork! 4/5⭐️

I almost returned this to the library unread (all my library books went back today) - but then I thought - I‘m not in a hurry, the sun is out - I‘m going to sit on this bench and read it.

And I really liked it - it does have “setting up for a series” vibes and I hope we get to see some further adventures of this little family unit - comprising of a blind orphan, the worlds greatest adventurer & a former agent of chaos.

Moby Richard - I see what you did there 🤣

Bright and colorful graphic novel, but it was confusing plot/wise and with too many characters. It‘s the fantasy aspect that threw me off too.

This was a really cute and exciting graphic novel! I loved how the story unfolded, the diverse cast of characters, and the fun artwork. The way it ended makes me wonder if there will be a sequel exploring Safia and Hebes relationship and lives. It was a pleasant surprise, as I didn‘t realize it was a graphic novel at first.
