The Books of Magic, Volume 4: Transformations by Peter Gross, John Ney Rieber
4.0

Books of magic still remains charming, weird, and fun as ever.

Basically Tim wants to know what Molly is thinking after the events of the last book. So he becomes a CAT. That's right, turns into a cat. But upon hearing a convo, he kind of spirals, and begins to worry what or who he is, but then gets kidnapped.

This is a weird volume of self reflection and what to do. It's not as strong as the previous volumes but still great in a lot of ways. Molly is the standout once more, especially issue 24, really showcases who she is and what she is willing to do. The ending is also great, and I want to know where we can go from here on out.

While not AS strong as volumes 0-3, it's still great. A 3.5 out of 5, round it up to a 4.
