Zatanna: The Jewel of Gravesend by Alys Arden
3.0
The pictures were great but the story was meh. It also left on a cliff hanger and I don't know if they plan on making another one.

Okay, I actually found this so cute. I have been putting off this book because I got it awhile ago and was afraid it was too YA. I thought I would rate it like 2 starts, but I finally decided to give in and read it after some difficult reads, and honestly, it was really good. I can't wait for the next book and to see how everything is going to unfold. Being left on a cliffhanger sucks.

This one was pretty good. I really liked the action of it. I did feel like the "twists" were really predictable in this one. Also maxxxxxðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Not bad for the first vol. A little weird but still not bad. It's a good starting point for the series.

I've read 26 books this year & this manga has been the best so far. Idk if that's sad or I should just applaud Tatsuya Endo for writing something so great. I love the characters & I can't wait to see Anya with her pet. The found family trope is one of my favs so my heart was especially happy reading this one!
