Salt Magic was such a beautiful and endearing graphic novel! Its whimsical and slightly unsettling atmosphere reminded me a lot of Studio Ghibli films, and the characters were all very interesting and charming.

The illustrations were beautiful and I felt that the pastel color palette suited the story well. It was an interesting mix of cozy whimsical fantasy mixed with creepy dark undertones. I felt that the pacing was well and it read like a modern fairy tale. The ending missed the mark for me and felt like it needed to answer more questions.

This whimsical and emotional graphic novel has a fairytale feel. The main character is jealous of losing her brother's attention to his new wife, but she is also selfless and loves her family. Some elements could've been expanded more.
