I'm a book reviewer/blogger, a YA library worker, and a generally voracious reader. I specifically love diverse lit, magical realism, and speculative fiction!

I was recommended this by a few people after talking about how much I enjoyed [b:Cosmoknights|43419730|Cosmoknights (Cosmoknights, #1)|Hannah Templer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546497784l/43419730.SX50.jpg|67465984], so I picked it up knowing almost nothing about it. Due to that I was surprised by the comparative coarseness, and definitely had some unfair comparisons lines up in my head. I think the idea of this story is interesting, and probably goes cool places past this first issue, but I found in almost impossible to get invested for some reason.

This was cute! The ending was adorable, and had a really nice lesson, and who doesn't love to see the hipster start up guys get shown up? There were a lot of over the top reactions here, and the characters, while generally likable, weren't very deep, but it was still an enjoyable read.

I love the story this encompasses, and I really want more. The characters, especially Alec and Abby, are so interesting and likable and the art style makes everything hard to look away from. I do feel like there are a lot of jumps that could have had a smoother transition and felt less rushed, but overall this is a cool new version of Swamp Thing that I think could spur a whole series.

Man I wish this had been around when I was younger, because it fills the "I wish I liked Sailor Moon" void in me to a tee. I love the world of this manga and the aesthetic is so nice! There's a very gentle feeling to it, but there's also such high stakes and such a looming antagonistic presence, it's hard to reconcile though it balances them perfectly!
