The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag
4.75
adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Anything Molly Ostertag touches is a masterclass in coming-of-age, soul searching, deep emotional catharsis. "The Deep Dark" explores what it means to love with a hidden part of yourself, something almost monstrous but mostly just misunderstood. Mags' story is original yet all too achingly familiar and I loved every panel.
