I received an eARC from the publisher, through NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.
3.5/4 stars.
This graphic novel is beautifully illustrated and tells the story of a group of girls discovering what love means to them.
The female characters are diverse and well fleshed out, the male characters, less so. I would have liked to see more diversity within them and their personalities.
Overall though I did enjoy the story and the journey the characters went on.

4.5 stars.
Slow to start, but once the story picked up I didn't want to put the book down.
Intoxicating magic, compelling twists and turns, fallacies tucked into corners and dramatically exposed at the last minute. I cannot wait for the sequel.
If you love urban fantasies, complex relationships and intricate plots - then this is for you!

I adore that the author chose to accurately represent anxiety within their main character. There is a diverse selection of characters and a well fleshed out storyline.

If you're looking for a book that has a lot of emotional range, but not overly littered with joy or hope - then this is for you.
Whilst beautifully written, raw and real - there wasn't a lot of light within this book. It holds a lot of pain, confusion and loss.
This book is designed to make you feel and to think on a broader spectrum. Less about enjoyment and more about emotional expansion within the realm of sorrow.

Emotionally driven and filled with action. I could not put this book down.
Beautifully written, haunting and at times difficult to read - but so essential. I cannot wait for the sequel.

Witty and full of adventure.
This is perfect for readers who enjoy all things spy related but also enjoy a good laugh. Fast paced action and a good amount of character development throughout.

4.75 stars.
It only doesn't get the full 5 stars due to the ending leaving it open for further books and I demand to know answers - haha.
Overall a fantastic trilogy that I adored. So many twists and turns, a cat and mouse chase that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.
