Flint: "Aren't you embarrassed? It's not normal."
Aster: "You keep saying that like it's a bad thing."
That exchange is why I love The Witch Boy series so much. The friend group celebrates each other's differences. The characters find joy in what makes them unique, even when others might not. Tradition is important, but so is following your own path.

{My thoughts} – Aster is still struggling to find his place within his family. It has become widely well known that he is a witch boy and most individuals keep telling him how it isn’t normal. His own mother doesn’t seem to be very accepting of it either. His friends on the other hand and his sister all seem to have his back a bout it from the beginning.
This is a special time for Aster because it is time for the Midwinter Festival. He and his family attend and he wants to take part in the annual Jolrun tournament as a witch. His mother is against it and tells another witch Ariel that she should compete. She isn’t sure about it but she does consider it. Aster ends up getting his feelings hurt after the tournament and we learn some new and interesting information about Arial and where she comes from – in terms of her blood line.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It has wonderful illustrations that go nicely with the story. I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it is released. I do believe that this is by far one of my favorite graphic novel series! I highly recommend this book for anyone that enjoys reading graphic novels! It will not disappoint you!

The third installment of The Witch Boy series follows Ariel as she learns more about her birth family and more about Aster's family and their traditions at a Vanissens family gathering.
