Fun to re-read the webcomic ( )

This is such a cute story!!! I love the artwork, and especially loved Nova's outfits. I was surprised that mooncakes didn't have a whole lot to do with the overarching plot, given the name. I loved the magical realism of the world, and how the authors show how non-magical people react through Tat. And Nova and Tam are just too cute! ( )

Hugo 2020 Nominations (Best Graphic);

Stars: 3.5

I have been hearing rave review things about this book, so I was tickled pink to finally have a reason to stop what I was doing and give it a read when it hit the Hugo Nominations list. This is the love & growth story of two young people in a supernatural realm. It was a treat to see earlier on that this book was pro-LBTQ, pro-disability, pro-gender choices, pro-race, pro-religious empowerment, and incredibly feminist. This book is definitely "Diversity for Days and Days and Days."

But with that said? It's so candy codified in every direction, and when compared to the use of magic/magic world/supernatural/supernatural creatures in [b:Monstress, Vol. 4: The Chosen|45899240|Monstress, Vol. 4 The Chosen|Marjorie M. Liu|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1559570414l/45899240._SX50_.jpg|70742623] in this same nomination bracket, there are no real, long term, risk-challenges that one doesn't just wave a wand and solve. The eschewing of men into only abusive fathers and cult members felt super unbalancing, too.

It was soft, sweet (the art, the writing, the handling of everything) and I think it'd be a great middle grade or early young adult book, but it wasn't my cup of tea with it's less real-world take on all those things, too. ( )

Sweet love story, beautifully drawn. A cute take on witches and werewolves and all magic creatures. Another kick ass protagonist, both bi and hearing impaired, with two grandma, and the love of her life a non binary werewolf, with the non believing scientist funny friend thrown in the mix. Definitely a girl power storyline too. Total acceptance by everyone in the story. I did enjoy it and would like to see what happens with Nova in the future. ( )

Such a heartwarming story, it made me feel cozy and content (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*
The art is cute and the characters were so loveable!
I would definitely read more by this author and this illustrator o(*^▽^*)o ( )
