[Review] You Wish (book 2): Wishborn by Jeff Victor
A delightful continuation of the You Wish series. The main character is brave and kind, and this book really champions helping those in need. It is also a celebration of family and community.

Absolutely adorable. Great art, a quick compelling read, realistic dialogue, and relatable characters. This is a unique take on a genie story, told from the inside out. It had me smiling and giggling. I'm already eager for more. Lucky for me, the next book in the series will be released on June 3, 2025!

So unique! This book is part cookbook, part Chinese cooking history, and part graphic novel. On the outset, it might sound a bit disjointed, but the whole thing worked surprisingly well.

I was fascinated by the idea of a wordless graphic novel, so I had to check this one out. It was definitely different.

An otherworldly romance set in Paris. I loved the diversity of magical/supernatural creatures. And I also loved the diversity of the characters sexual and romantic identities—a very good representation of different identities.

Cute and lighthearted. I enjoyed the diverse characters and the fast-paced plot.

I love that this graphic novel was centered around queer characters and took place in an underrepresented area in novels—Bucharest, Romania. And while I was hoping to love more about this book, that was basically where my love ended.

An absolute delight! I loved the first volume of this graphic novel series and I am just as smitten with this one! The art is adorable and the storytelling is light and quirky. It's all so upbeat and whimsical. Lots of smiles. Lots of giggles. This book is pure joy.

Dark and weird, twisted and disturbing. This graphic novel is a brutal exploration of the underbelly of wellness culture. There is a lot of subtext to unpack. Fast paced and thought provoking. Great narrative art that propels the story and mirrors the horror of the events.

Cute animal characters in an idyllic, small-town setting. The lively art belies the darker underbelly of this sinister series starter. But once you look past the visual whimsy, it's readily apparent that this book has some serious Dexter vibes (if Dexter were a female bear).

A light tone and good diversity of characters. This book is definitely more character driven than most graphic novels, with a story that emphasizes the very human desire to fit in and feel wanted.

A fun graphic novel inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Vibrant supernatural characters abound, as this is a story that revolves around the feud between witches and vampires.
