I've had Taproot by Keezy Young on my TBR list for so long and i'm so glad i finally got to read it!
It was as heartwarming and lovely as i had hoped, I love queer stories that don't necessarily revolve around the characters' queerness, but rather have it very casually and naturally be a part of the story and i think this graphic novel did that very well. I loved seeing Blue and Hamal's relationship blossom, it was super cute and i appreciate how they were already so familiar with each other.
The art style is gorgeous and right up my alley, the color themes made the book feel very cosy in a way and i absolutely adore the scenery in the forest and especially the design of the reaper's scythe.
One thing i really appreciate is that even though there were some more serious topics of discussion at hand, the book didn't take itself too seriously and had some very fun scenes in it. The epilogue is probably my favorite part of the book, i neeed more of Blue and Hamal going on fun paranormal investigations.
My one wish probably is that this was a bit longer and we had more time with these characters, hopefully this isn't the last we'll be seeing of them!
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC!

A very sweet comic about death, necromancy, and life! I wish it was a bit longer because I would’ve loved to see more from Hamal and what he gets up to.
