I read this book awhile ago now, but I thought it was delightful! It was mostly short and sweet, and I found the magic system and relationships within compelling. I think more books should have cool magic grandmas, honestly. I also liked the inclusion of a nonbinary character and how that was handled, especially as a nonbinary person myself. I also thought the cool magic mystery was fun, even if the villain wasn't particularly surprising, and I found the emotional beats and growth of the main characters compelling and sweet. I just loved how magic was written into this graphic novel, and I think the art really captured it super well. Just a fun little magic story!
