And it will require even more courage to save his family... and be truly himself.… (more)

Un comic maravilloso que habla sobre como nos sentimos y como nos ve la sociedad. Aceptarnos a nosotros mismos y no discriminar ante estereotipos, todo con una capa de magia y aventura.

Pedazo comic. ( )

6.5/10, this was an interesting fantasy novel, but enjoyable nonetheless. I couldn't feel any connection with most of the characters except the main one, Aster. I couldn't see any reason why Aster couldn't practice spells, and why witchcraft is typically only for girls? However, Aster still wanted to practice witchcraft, and that became useful when the villain tried to escape from the parallel world, but he trapped him. I noticed that there was no explanation about how the parallel world came into being, which was a bit irritating, but it was a minor issue, maybe I could find out more in the next book in the series. The romance was kind of forced in, because I didn't feel anything when Aster and Charlie fell in love with each other. If you like a fantasy story, this is the book for you. ( )

Another cute, beautiful Molly Ostertag graphic novel. Aster is a boy who is drawn to witch-magic, which is only for girls. He learns to trust who he is, and saves his friends from a demon-beast that is trying to corrupt them.

They're like good chocolate, they never last long enough! ( )
