This was a great graphic novel! It had some seriously arresting illustrations to the point where I would audibly gasp or say “woah” out loud. It was incredible learning about Jewish folklore and beliefs, especially about all the fantastic creatures. The novel also delves into Jewish history which was emotional and moving. Furthermore, the story was action-packed. It was always hitting the next plot point or character development milestone so I was super engaged throughout. Unfortunately, the ending did feel quite rushed and I felt like Miriam’s character development didn’t end up going anywhere. But overall, this was still a great read.

This comic was really sweet and I loved the fantastical adventures rooted in Jewish folklore. I especially appreciated the sections on makeup, the Golem, and Lilith. I am really glad this comic exists!

This is a quick read with wonderful art and really excellent characters. It featured more religious stories than I expected, but I think that readers of any faith can love these characters and enjoy the adventure. My favorite bit was the make-over battle scene!
