Book Review: Witch for Hire by Ted Naifeh

  • Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley

  • My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (see my review on Goodreads)

A YA graphic novel about a witch? How could I resist?! A couple of notes about the galley: it was unfortunately not in color like the printed book will be (and based on the cover and sample page, I expect it to be quite vibrant!). I also had some trouble reading this one because the quality was a bit low; there were some parts where I just could not make out the words due to too much pixelation. Alas! The story was fun, though, and a very relatable one for me. I appreciated the exploration of how lonely and troublesome it can be as a teen when you don't fit in to various social groups. I related to Faye and her self-reliant approach very much, although I wish I had had a witchy mentor when I was younger! I thought this was a nice story with some empowering messages in the end, and I enjoyed the cute art style. I'd definitely pick up a physical copy to add to my witchy graphic novels shelf.
