A delightful and fun book about two apprentice veterinarians (and all that can go wrong in a day XD).
I have had my eye on these two books (yes, two, look forward to the review for book 2, coming soon) for a while now and finally had the time to read them. I just love book featuring magic and animals so EEP!
Meet Clarion and Annette. I took an instant liking to Clarion, but it took me a while to like/get used to Annette. I know, I know, I shouldn’t judge people by how they look, but I definitely did, because Annette looked so angry and frustrated 99% of the time. I am thankful we did get some more insights on her and that is also why I started to like her. See that her outside look is just like the MC from Toradora. XD
I just loved the magical vet setting and I loved seeing the girls do their best in their training. I was so happy with how Clarion wanted to give that bear a chance instead of following orders. That had me smiling and made me like this girl even more. I loved how at first it was really just vet and training, but then when the doctor (loved this character) and the nurse (unsure about this one) leave things get so much more exciting and I found myself going through the book even faster. I won’t spoil a lot, but it involves a bunny with a certain ailment making a whole mess of things. I loved seeing the girls work together and become closer and maybe even friends.
I just ADORE the colourscheme that was used. The art was also tons and tons of fun. OK, again, it took me a while to get used to Annette due to how she was drawn, but other than that the rest was wonderful.
All in all, there is still tons of things to explore, like Annette’s family, but also more animals. I cannot wait!

This was very cute, but very short. The story starts, amps up quickly, then resolves within a couple of pages. I can see how it would be good for a younger juv, but I do hope the next one is longer!

This was so sweet! Sam Davies has an adorable style and her comics always warm my heart. I’ve been a long-time follower of her work.
I think this is a good beginning to the story of these witches! It’s at three stars for me just because I had some personal and tiny gripes with certain story choices. The Nurse has made a less than favorable first impression, to me. And the pacing felt a bit quick, but that makes sense for a graphic novel this short! I know that, as her first graphic novel, there is a lot of room for Davies to grow and develop her narrative voice.
This series definitely appeals more to a younger demographic too, but I like a lot of the issues we’ve been introduced to here. Such as feeling caged by what others think of you and the desire to do good without harming anyone else. Good lessons! Annette is my favorite so far, due to her semi-feral energy. I also like Dr. Talon’s easygoing and kind nature.
Overall, perfectly palatable and I’ll eagerly keep an eye out for the next one!

Cute story, cute illustrations, and wonderful color palette. If you're looking for a short graphic novel that is cute and is a bit of fun I would go for this one. Not really anything substantial, but I wouldn't mind seeing more. ~Ashley
