Moth has to decide who she is going to be. There are twists and surprises in the story and there is a school play about the history of the town, how could there not be. She finds a past between her family and the town. Moth Hush is a teenager obsessed with witches and one day she discovers that she is actually a witch in this small town in Massachusetts. The artwork is nice and it enhanced the story. The characters were well formed and the drama was good, not over dramatic, but enough. What an enjoyable read and a great story for this time of year with Halloween and hauntings and witches all about us.
With that being said, I'm pre-ordering that second book!!! Moth's family (even though her grandmother is annoying), her familiar and even Charlie! I can't wait to see more Moth and Charlie in the next book too. But you know what makes her even more lovable? She's a witch who loves anime! (it was mentioned once in the novel but gotta stick to the mutualism <3).Īnd not to say, my love for other characters as well. I laughed, touched and get mad along the way.Īlso, I love Moth! A thirteen years old witch who's struggling to fit in and in pursue of discovering herself. It has been an adventurous read full of emotions. I enjoyed the arts foremost! I can't stop appreciating every single page of it. I love how perfect this book is to read during the Halloween (though I didn't read this on Halloween) It was well rounded, from the illustrations to the characters and even the plot. The colour palette? The aesthetic? It really fits my preference and it made the book more enjoyable. When I started the first page, I was like YES!
