Personal rating of 3 out of 5 stars
3 stars At times I enjoyed the book and was eager to see what happened next, but by the end, I was left feeling that it was just… fine. I’ve seen various critiques of the books; some that resonate with me and others that don’t. I personally didn’t mind the narration. It was often melodramatic,…

3 stars Overall a good volume that continues Wirt and Greg’s search for the Hero Frog. My problem with this one is the same as the last: the bonus comics after the main ones are just not for me. In this volume, we’re given more tales from Ms. Langtree’s school. They are simple, nonsensical, and…

3 stars This collection of shorts is all about Princess Bubblegum! A nice fit for those looking for more PB in their lives. As with any compilation, there are some hits or misses, but overall it was a fun read. There is great diversity in the stories and expressions of the characters. Some stay true…

3 stars A fun story following Finn as he switches places with the Rock Princess so she can carry out a plan to make the council take her seriously and save her kingdom. Fans of the show will enjoy these original tales of all new adventures and silliness that have the same heart as the…

3 stars Whenever I dive into an Over the Garden Wall, I’m prepared for the strange and unexpected (as much as one can be when venturing into the Unknown). It’s part of what I love about the show and have loved about this graphic novel series. However, this one went in an entirely different direction….

3 stars A collection of comics spanning 2016 that center around Kaye’s gender dysphoria, early stages of transitioning, and coming into herself. This includes many topics such as the awkwardness of gendered bathrooms, the frustration of being misgendered, being okay with one’s appearance, make up, hair removal, and feeling the need to play up one’s…

3 stars A book celebrating a love of theater and the journey to discovering what you want out of life. Much of the book centers around friendship, crushes, and the sometimes-blurry line between the two. One aspect I enjoyed about the book is that while Callie loves theater, she’s not much of a performer, preferring…

3 stars There are things that this book does well and things that aren’t quite a hit. This is the first book by Telgemeier that I’ve read and I’ve been meaning to check out her work. On the whole, I enjoyed the story and the various themes touched upon. The artwork was lovely with wonderful…

3 stars I’ll admit I’ve never been much of an Alice in Wonderland fan. I prefer tight plots to nonsensical reads. However, I have read some good retellings of Alice’s adventures and wanted to go back to the source material to better understand them. I can certainly appreciate Carroll’s stories as a historic moment in…

3 stars Overall, I enjoyed this witchy tale. I will start by saying this is the first book I’ve read in the Chrestomanci series (I didn’t even know it was a series when I picked up this book). However, from what I can tell, the books do not necessarily have to be read in order….
