Queer Asian witches, whose power is determined by the length of their hair set in a semi-tropical high fantasy backdrop? Sign me up.
The art is gorgeous and the way Kindle now has an option to move through comics frame by frame really gives it a cinematic feel. While cute and sometimes whimsical, heavy topics are also addressed from the jump (TW: there is the death of a parent in the opening).
I suspect that this is going to be a slow burn, rivals-to-lovers with the trans character, Prill, but I'm not too sure. Not enough evidence yet, but they have an interesting start.
This was a fast but fun read and I'm excited to read Volume II!
