Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Box for an eARC of this title.

Alright, this is what I need to say about Wynd. I adored it! I loved the art style in this graphic novel. It was colourful and fun. I loved that the characters all had their own style and could be clearly identified through the artwork. I also loved how visually diverse the characters were. There was obvious on-page diversity.

I also loved the story. Wynd is so sweet and put into the most difficult and complicated situation simply because he has magic in his blood. As the first book in a new series, I thought this was perfect! The pacing was so wonderful and quick that the action picked up soon enough to draw you in, but late enough that I had an understanding of the general rules and beliefs of the world. I really enjoyed how there was so much explained in this first volume, without it feeling info dumpy or slow. I really would love to continue this series when more are published.

I would highly recommend this to people of all ages who like magic, adventure, and characters discovering who they really are, as well as some political issues.
