I want to read more of this series and I love a good dystopian , fantasy YA series 
I think my expectations from others as well as a fantastic premise let me down but it is still a solid good book for me 
I took stars off because too  many times I would get confused and there were times I thought it would drag  . I actually feel like this is one of the rare instances where I’ll like this story more as a movie. 

However, I did still enjoy it . I would give it a 3.5 for me. I really liked the chardters especially Deya and the found family aspect of it. I liked the fighting scenes and the action of the book but I just wanted it to go further. The ending was really good and set it up well for the series. 

Powerful memoir that at the same time as being educational is inspiring and assessable. Johnson leaves his heart on the page and writes about what it is like wearing a black and queer and trying to find us identity and his community. This is a collection of essays about his life about the hard times that he went through and the good. I like that Johnson came at this from an angle of finding black and queer joy and how important that is. 
A TON OF CONTENT WARNINGS 

Such an important read for literally anyone, no matter your age, sexuality, gender, race, nationality, religion, I could go on. It’s heartbreaking at points, and it’s heartwarming at points. George M. Johnson’s life story so far is one that we can all learn something from.

see review on volume 1 for 1-4

This is a review for Volumes 1-4. AN AMAZING AMAZING graphic novel collection. The representation, the diversity , the love stories, the depth of characters, seriously everything is just soo great. I love Charlie and Nick  and I love most of the other queer representations.We have gay, bisexual, questioning, transexual, and pansexuality. 

Yet another great graphic novel
Witches, magic, love, and adventure. This story moved quickly and the beautiful artwork supported the great writing. I felt like this was very well written, it was fun, the pacing was great amd I would read more about Nova, Tam and their love as well as more about Novas family overall 

fantastic LGBTQIA+ representation . Chinese - American and disabled (mc wears hearing aids) representation too
