ARC Copy。。。one of the longer graphic novels I have read but I did love the friendship and togetherness amongst all the younger cast in opposition to a portion of the adults being not so trust worthy。

Looking for witchcore vibes？ This is your graphic novel。 It seems fun and lighthearted on the outside， but deep within is a dark adventure-filled story filled with morally grey characters and excellent world building。I loved our main cast of characters， they each have their own flaws and talents and all come from different backgrounds。 I loved seeing the crew together in this twisty story， and I can’t wait to continue onto the next book。 I have no idea how it’s going to end， like this one， I’m s Looking for witchcore vibes？ This is your graphic novel。 It seems fun and lighthearted on the outside， but deep within is a dark adventure-filled story filled with morally grey characters and excellent world building。I loved our main cast of characters， they each have their own flaws and talents and all come from different backgrounds。 I loved seeing the crew together in this twisty story， and I can’t wait to continue onto the next book。 I have no idea how it’s going to end， like this one， I’m sure it’ll keep me on the edge of my seat。 This graphic novel really delved into - what really is good and evil？ I loved that aspect and could never guess what was going to happen next。Since there’s a lot of main characters， I loved how the text bubbles were all colour coordinated so you could easily tell which character was speaking。 It made this read more accessible and easier to follow。This is a perfect Halloween read， so make sure to pre-order yourself a copy and settle in for an un-put-down-able read！Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an e-copy of this graphic novel to review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

The art was super cute and I loved the witch vibes crossed with the fun little fairytale callbacks。 I feel like the story was a bit dragged out， especially for middle grade， but it was fun。

I love Webtoon comics， I remember Hooky when it was still being published as new （which was probably 3 phones ago）， but it's one of those series I saw and never read。Something I always thought back on， I feel incredibly lucky to be granted access to an ARC of （what I'm assuming） is Book 1 of the series。However， I was not expecting it to be almost 400 pages long and only about a third （or less） of the series。 I feel SO FAR BEHIND。That said， it was a really great story。 There are moments were it l I love Webtoon comics， I remember Hooky when it was still being published as new （which was probably 3 phones ago）， but it's one of those series I saw and never read。Something I always thought back on， I feel incredibly lucky to be granted access to an ARC of （what I'm assuming） is Book 1 of the series。However， I was not expecting it to be almost 400 pages long and only about a third （or less） of the series。 I feel SO FAR BEHIND。That said， it was a really great story。 There are moments were it lulled， but by the last 100 pages I was hooked and had to know what was going to happen。 I desperately need and want more。 （I've already used my free reads on WT for the day trying to find where the series matches up。）The world of Hooky definitely builds in strength and the story goes。 This is a very in depth world and tale that address' many different people， from different walks of life， and how they grow behind the roles set for them by others and even themselves。 Sometimes guided by fear， but more often courage and love for one another。It is a lot， but it's a great read。**Thank you to Clarion Books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。** 。。。more

Brilliant。 This was amazing。 Once the physical copy is out， its going on my shelf。 The world building is perfect， the characters all have some sort of story to them。 The art style is beautiful yet simple looking。 The art mixing with the story so well。 Character driven and fun all around。 Fantastic。 I will read this over and over again and will never shut up about it。 It brings me warmth。 Absolutely an adventure。 Highly recommend even if you aren't into any sort of magic/fantasy。 Brilliant。 This was amazing。 Once the physical copy is out， its going on my shelf。 The world building is perfect， the characters all have some sort of story to them。 The art style is beautiful yet simple looking。 The art mixing with the story so well。 Character driven and fun all around。 Fantastic。 I will read this over and over again and will never shut up about it。 It brings me warmth。 Absolutely an adventure。 Highly recommend even if you aren't into any sort of magic/fantasy。 。。。more

'Hooky' hooked （haha） me right from the start。 The illustrations are pretty and i'ts helpful， that the speech bubbles are illustrated in different colours correlating with the characters。 The cast of characters is great， but coud be more diverse。 The friendships， we are exploring in this volume， are well done， as are the character developments。 The only thing I have to criticise is， that the comic sometimes loses track of the overarching plotline， but we mostly come back to it pretty quickly。 'H 'Hooky' hooked （haha） me right from the start。 The illustrations are pretty and i'ts helpful， that the speech bubbles are illustrated in different colours correlating with the characters。 The cast of characters is great， but coud be more diverse。 The friendships， we are exploring in this volume， are well done， as are the character developments。 The only thing I have to criticise is， that the comic sometimes loses track of the overarching plotline， but we mostly come back to it pretty quickly。 'Hooky' is funny， very enjoyable and quite quick to read。 I desperately want to continue and I hope the rest of the comic will get translated as well。 。。。more

Many thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。Hooky’s strengths definitely lie in its worldbuilding， character development and compelling story。 In fact， I’d argue that it’s almost flawlessly executed。 I only have two concerns。 First of all， it gets pretty dark at times so I’m not sure about the suggested age range。 （For context， there’s a fair amount of death， violence and discussion of the persecution of witches。） Also， t Many thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。Hooky’s strengths definitely lie in its worldbuilding， character development and compelling story。 In fact， I’d argue that it’s almost flawlessly executed。 I only have two concerns。 First of all， it gets pretty dark at times so I’m not sure about the suggested age range。 （For context， there’s a fair amount of death， violence and discussion of the persecution of witches。） Also， this is fairly long。 Going in， I expected a relatively short read of similar length to other graphic novels that I’d read before but this was actually pretty lengthy… and then it ends on a cliff-hanger which was a bit of a disappointment。But with that said， I do appreciate Hooky for being more of a slow burn。 Any loss of content would have impacted the strength of this fantastic story so it’s definitely worth overlooking the length。 I’m really looking forward to seeing how Hooky progresses after that explosive ending and hope that we don’t have to wait too long for a second instalment。In terms of the artwork itself， the colour palettes used were wonderful。 Lots of magical pastels to contrast with the use of black to symbolise the darker elements of the storytelling。Overall， a fantastic and magical graphic novel that I couldn’t help but fall in love with。 Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun， whimsical witchy story with darker undertones。For even more reviews， check out my blog。 。。。more

Es una historieta para preadolescentes que （para mi gusto personal） fue una grata sorpresa: Empieza tierna， linda y episódica， pero conforme avanza la trama se pone cada vez más tensa， macabra y con un suspenso que （al menos a mí） me tenía enganchadísimo。Esa fórmula narrativa se usa bastante en recientes series infantiles de magia y aventuras， y en este caso creo que fue muy eficiente。 Además la subtrama romántica me divirtió。Ya me leí los 222 episodios en Webtoon。 Prece mucho， y sí， tomó tiempo Es una historieta para preadolescentes que （para mi gusto personal） fue una grata sorpresa: Empieza tierna， linda y episódica， pero conforme avanza la trama se pone cada vez más tensa， macabra y con un suspenso que （al menos a mí） me tenía enganchadísimo。Esa fórmula narrativa se usa bastante en recientes series infantiles de magia y aventuras， y en este caso creo que fue muy eficiente。 Además la subtrama romántica me divirtió。Ya me leí los 222 episodios en Webtoon。 Prece mucho， y sí， tomó tiempo， pero cuando la trama se puso sabrosa， me tragué como cincuenta espisodios en un día。 。。。more

maybe that's the author's style speaking， or maybe it's just because they're young， but it holds nothing back。 Usually， reading distracting shenanigans is just annoying to me because it's just stalling from advancing the main story。 （Pretty obviously too。。） But。。。It strikes a great balance between the good times and the bad times。 I love fantasy， it's pretty much all I read， so I'm definitely biased， but everything ties together so well。 There's a lot of pain they cause each other， and even themselves， because of their decisions， but I can't help but empathize since I can easily see myself doing the same thing。 And at the same time， the terrible destiny that chases them the entire time threatens to overthrow all of it。 Watching how they cope with it， and hopefully overcome it is something I apprehensively look forward to。（view spoiler）[ Welcome to the spoiler section！ If you're here， it means you've already read it and know all about thisLSDFLSDKF it's so good it's hard to hold it all in when you're trying not to ruin anything for anyone who might see it。 I've only just gotten to the part where the witches storm the castle at the party， and oh my god poor DaniWatching Dani change has been both cute and heartbreaking at the same time， she has such bright spirits， but not to the point of blind optimism。。。 When she broke down in front of Mark I DIED （but his reaction was perfect， I felt that）。 Everyone wants her to do magic， or understand how cool magic can be， but from her perspective， it really is just too dangerous。 I'm not sure what I'd do if I were her， but that's half the fun of reading。 The last episode had a straight up TRAUMA moment I wasn't ready omg Alex noDorian， skilled with magic， socially a mess， prideful， a little selfish sometimes， and easily makes mistakes but also strangely self-aware。 I have a love-hate relationship with him， kind of like reading unOrdinary and being hurt when someone you love does something incredibly dumb， but I can't help but relate a little。 Okay， maybe a lot。 If I'd had a whole family of angry witches on my back， I might understand。 I just really hope he doesn't become the King of Witches。 I'd actually cryI don't want this review to wind on forever， but I could go on for hours on how much I love this webtoon， the setting， the characters in it， everything。 Monica went from a slightly obnoxious princess to the heroine she'd been reading about so much， not quite but almost unexpectedly。 It was cool watching her transform after everything she went through， and her complicated friendship with Dorian is humorous， but also kind of sad because of the lies on both sides。 Nico is stubborn and kind of dumb sometimes， but he's a good guy， and after hearing what happened to him， it's hard to blame him。 And Mark is such a big lovable oaf oh my god`l。1-= （hide spoiler）]It was almost like watching the Webtoon grow up as its characters did。 I think the author herself confessed it started as just a fun doodle， and then grew into something more as she kept drawing them more and more。 It's rare to read something that feels as genuine as Hooky does， and if anything bad happens to one of the characters I'd love I'd probably just die on the spot。 I'm surprised it hasn't gotten that sidetracked so far， every twist so far has been gripping， and I'm perpetually anxious waiting for something bad to happen that I don't want but know is coming。 If you ever have a chance， you should absolutely read Hooky。 God， if you've already read it， read it again SLFDKKLSKF it's so packed- wait wow it's sold in print too？ hold on a moment"I'm bad at hugging， but I'm even worse with words。" -Mark， and now me 。。。more
