My favourite spell in the entire story was when Nova amplified her hearing aids to defeat an enemy. Witchcraft is one of my favourite topics to read about I loved how it was portrayed here. I didn’t realise they were actually dead when they visited, obviously, they were see-through so that should have given it away, but this is a book about witchcraft they could have been astral projecting. Some parts seemed to get brushed away very quickly when they would have benefitted from more explanation, especially the part about Nova’s parents. The story was interesting, but it definitely had room for development. Every single page was beautifully drawn and coloured and the autumnal vibes were off the charts.

I’m completely in love with the art style and colour palette of Mooncakes. Thankfully it lived up to the expectations I had been building for years and it’s now one of my favourite graphic novels. Mooncakes has been on my to be read for the longest time and I’ve finally gotten around to it.

Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods.Īs a genderqueer werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home. She works at her grandmothers’ bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch.
