Graphic Novel Epicness
My review: 5 stars I liked this volume as much as the first; it has the same emotional and epicness as the first, but if I hadn't read the previous volume, I would still have understood the characters, their choices, their background, and their motivations. In this one, we get insight into the villain's origin story, and the conflict brings everyone together to act, not just the kids, the chosen one, but all as one, including both sides that look at the other as being the rea

Duology
I enjoy this series a lot and I'm sad to see it as a duology. I loved the worldbuilding, the relationship between the two powerful and yet so different characters. This second volume shows more of their romance, but also how they restore/attribute matriarchal power to institutions that were basically patriarchal. I felt it was calmer than the first volume but more mature and confident writing. I love both covers as well. Tal is a great character to balance the others. Book In

Sylvania Camp
🅱️ook Tour Stop + Review My review: Book 1 is Now on paperback and it's an amazing start for this series. A Summer Camp as you can't imagine. Safe for new friendships, but with a lot of paranormal activity. It's not a summer camp to lose weight. Lots of action, tension, and humor. Themes such as acceptance, self-confidence, fun, uplifting read, solving things on their own, and making new friends among those who share interests and experiences. Excited to start this series? H

Magic Girls Kira and the Space Princess
My review 5 plus I have a Magic Girl Heart Forever I grew up loving Magic Girls. I love this story inspired by the most amazing magic girls of Asian manga and anime pop culture. The author is creative and energetic, combining so many of my favorite elements: the magical accessories, the transformations, the fact they are schoolgirls and magical fighters, the evolution of characters and access to new powers, fabulous powers, the clothes, the back stories involving space, moon
