This graphic novel was super cute and just cheesy enough that it melted my heart rather than clogging its arteries.
Firstly, the art is incredible. The cover does not do it justice. There's beautiful scenes of woodland creatures illuminated in the night, among many other delightful drawings. Secondly, the romance is very cute and feels organic in spite of being introduced in only a few pages. Thirdly, the representation does not feel like tokenism - our protagonist's hearing aids, for example, are well integrated into the magic system.
All that said, the plot was relatively simple and predictable. That's to be expected in such short works, but I wish the central conflict had a bit more "oomph".
Recommended if you're looking for a cute magical romance to warm your heart and delight your artistic sensibilities. 3.75 on SG, rounded up to 4 on GR.
