Mooncakes
by Suzanne Walker
This adorable graphic novel follows a young deaf witch as she reconnects with an old friend (a nonbinary werewolf) and tries to solve the mystery of the horse demon in the woods.
A huge focus of this novel is dealing with one‘s past (Nova, the main character) has lost her parents and Tam was forced to run away from an abusive home, getting stuck in their not yet controllable werewolf transformation), especially how to heal through forging new connections and how to move on without forgetting what happened. The story is really intruiging and fast paced, quickly pulling you in and dragging you along on this magical (and cuuuuute) story.
It is a bit light on the magic system and on the characters‘ past, both of which I found myself missing while reading, but the cuteness of the art style and the sweet relationship between Nova and Tam was something I really enjoyed.
I also enjoyed that Nova uses hearing aids and that the difficulties of them were also shown (once Nova has to take them off when she receives a phone call as it distorts the noises too much) and that she found a way to combine magic and technology, which is really, really cool.
All in all I would recommend this graphic novel to fans of adorable breezy supernatural romance and those that are just looking for a light but sweet read for an afternoon.
