This was so cute! I love Sleepy Hollow retellings and this was an incredibly fun, fresh take on the story, especially since it's less of a retelling and more of a "sequel" set many, maaaany years later, following the Crane and Van Tassel descendants. The plot was a lot of fun, and I loved the Headless Horseman getting to be involved as a major character with a bit more dimension, even if it was a surprising change from what I'd typically expect in a story with this setting. The art was lovely, the characters were sweet and charming, and my little queer heart swooned for the sapphic romance playing out in the subplot. ♥ I highly recommend this for your Halloween TBR, or any time of year!
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: Izzy is half-Latinx and sapphic; Vicky is sapphic; Croc is Asian; a side character uses crutches/mobility aids
