Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the E-arc in exchange for an honest review.
OMG. The first volume left us on such a cliffhanger and now I have so many more questions at the end of this (in a good way).
Love the art and style of this series first off.
Getting to see more of Morgana's back atory and that she has truly always just been her authentic self all this time is amazing. Her doubts and anxiety over her abilities is very relatable and sets the stage for her heartwarming moments with other characters.
All the characters are clearly well thought out and I can't wait to see their continued arcs in the coming volumes!

A fun romp of a book full of intrigue and mystery. This small town cozy mystery boasts a diverse and fleshed out grouping od characters as well as many plot twists to keep you guessing. The backlay of the Murder mystery play occuring during the murder itself is just perfect.

A great guide and insight into how we can live intentionally and create a life we feel is best for us. The guidance and method in this books is very relatable and acknowledges alot of the more realistic challenges that most other books I have come across on this topic have just chose to gloss over or ignore. The knowledge gained in this book appears to be quite actionable.

This book was so interesting. I loved the diversity of the cultures represented as well as the inclusion of so many indigenous peoples. The illustrations are stunning, swimming across the pages. The format is easy to follow, intriguing, and allows for the covering of so many aspects of sea lore. Anyone interested in folklore or even just expanding their knowledge of cultures I would highly recommend this to.

OMG! This book is a riot. Though small in size it packs a punch and as someone who has experience growing up with many a houseplant the thoughts seem pretty accurate. I love the format that mimics a typical plant book, and especially love the inclusion of each plants zodiac sign. Definitely a must buy for your snarky, sarcastic plant loving friend or family.

I loved learning about Biddy Early in this graphic history. The format was a great out of the box way to share all the wonderful information the book has to offer. The underlying story line keeps the reader intrigued. I will admit I was not the biggest fan of the drawing style but that is a small thing for an otherwise wonderful book.
