Thanks to NetGalley and Boom Studios for sending me an advanced copy of this to review! I’m always looking for new graphic novels to read, and the cover of this one definitely drew me in. A new magical graphic novel series, yes please!

Most of this volume is introductory, showing us the characters and the world that we’ll need to know moving forward in the story. This means most of this is a bit slow-paced, at least until you get to about the halfway point. Then the action picks up and hurtles you toward the next volume.

The main thing this book has going for it is the art. The artwork is gorgeous, adding to the world building of the text. While some of the details of the world are still a bit unclear, seeing it visually really helps to ground the reader in the world Wynd and his friends inhabit. I mean, just look at the cover! I can’t wait to read more just to see more of the art work.

We’ve got some great characters in this as well. Wynd is sweet, and the way he interacts with his crush is adorable. His best friend, Oakley, is fiercely protective of him and I loved their relationship. So much opportunity for it to transform, too! 

All in all, this was a great start to this new series, and I can’t wait to dive in and read more!
