I received a Free E-Arc in exchange for an honest review through Netgalley. Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley.
This graphic novel was a cute story about how escaping into fantasy can be helpful and needed and can help you realize what you already have. The story follows Jordan, a 17 year old with 2 younger brothers who he has to keep babysitting even when his parents are around, and while at a museum, he wanders off to get some alone time and accidentally walks into a fantasy realm with magic and faeries.
I loved seeing Jordan step into a brand new world where he finally got to be free even if he was helping a Fae prince at the same time, while also trying to find a way home. Prince Astel is the heir to the fantasy kingdom and is very shut off throughout most of the book as he is trying to protect himself as he has magic which has been outlawed by his mother.
There have been weird incidents happening including wolves with glowing eyes that attacked without reason, so Prince Astel is trying to figure out what is going on while also dealing with this rather outgoing stranger who seems very out of place but saved his life. The mystery in this book was one I did not see coming but thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the characters and the world and seeing Jordan get tossed into a brand new world where there wasn’t anyone like him was interesting.
I highly recommend this book as it was a cute fantasy mystery with a beautiful art style. If you are looking for a Graphic Novel that is high fantasy and has a mystery that you likely won’t see coming, check this out.
