howlinglibraries 's review for:
Moonstruck, Vol. 1: Magic to Brew
by Grace Ellis
This is a REALLY tough graphic novel for me to rate and review!
→ P R O S :
• ADORABLE artwork
• so much diverse rep! POC, queer rep, fat rep, all kinds ♥
• some cute pop culture references (the neopets knockoff site killed me)
→ C O N S :
• mostly kind of boring?
• Selena very abruptly goes from SUPER SWEET to a total jerkface, why??
• everyone is SO MEAN to Julie! all the time! She makes it REALLY clear over and over that she doesn't want to be picked on, but nobody ever stops and nobody is ever called out on it?!
• Lindi is a super toxic friend and it's just... laughed off?
• the actual storyline became really messy and poorly fleshed out in the last 2 "issues"
So, I don't know. 3.5 stars, but I've gotta round down. :( I'm really sad because so many of my friends adore this GN that I swore I would, too, plus it's so hard to find positive fat rep.
