I received this free from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was immediately drawn to the cover as I scrolled through netgalley and was not at all disappointed (and now I'm craving squash soup).
To begin with, the plates, the choice of colors and the style are magnificent. This is probably one of the most beautiful graphic novels I've ever read.
I'm usually not the best public for graphic novel, however I try to read more of them. The story is a new favorite of mine. I don't know if it has anything to do with the start of autumn and the Halloween season, but I got hooked on the story very quickly. A badass ogress, a dangerous mist and a coven of witches? Are you kidding? This is the story I've been waiting for.
I must say, though, that I was a little confused by the presence of the human (why is she following them? Why doesn't it occur to the witches to find out?) I'm waiting for volume 2 to see if we'll get an answer to that question, or if her presence was merely to set the romance in motion, which could have been done better.
And whoa the cliffhanger!! I was on the edge of my seat, excited to read more, clicked on next page and.... end. It's so frustrating but also means it was really really good. Can't wait for part 2!
A bonus point because it's translated from French, thank you for introducing me to the author of this superb graphic novel I'll be keeping an eye out for his next works.
