My Rating : 4

This story follows a family of witches who has to protect their magic and be nice to their Witch hunting neighbours. It deals with how the girls deal with acceptance, family bonds, envy and a bigger threat that is destroying everyone in their town is the main concept of this story!

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own and is not influenced in any way.
.
First, I really love how this shades over the story of Little women as a retelling but with some fantasy twist to it! I loved all the characters and how each of them has their own unique personalities. The story had a really nice flow to it and the art style was really amazing! I am a huge fan of art style like this and it just made my reading experience even better!
.
The second was how each character had their own amazing character arc. This is a very short graphic novel that holds a plotline, character introductions, and a story structure! You get to see how each character starts out, and how they up overcoming their fears and end up helping each other and in turn banishing the evil lurking behind them ! ( Literally ! ) Also, the witch hunter neighbours? I must say they along with out witches make a really fun pair ! But I loved the fact that it was not romanticized and paved way to a good friendship. It might be more, but you don't feel like it while you are reading the book.
.
With that being said, I think there were a few loose ends with how the story ended. Few characters were introduced but they didn't have the proper exit ( If that makes any sense? ) Plus, at times you feel like a lot of things happen in a single page and it's quite difficult to grasp what is happening. I guess you could say it felt like the story flow was broken because of that. It might not be that way to you, but I felt that way. That in no way affected my reading experience, but I would have liked this book even more, if that was not the case.
.
Overall, I really loved the relationship between the characters, the family bonding, the story flow, the art style was beautiful. If you are a fan of retelling, or you have ever read Little Women, or just want a quick graphic novel to read, check this book out! I definitely had a very good time reading this book !
