Review: Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker & Wendy Xu (Artist)

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-copy for an honest review.

First thing first, this book has diversity for days! We got lesbian grandmas, non-binary werewolf and a hard-of-hearing character. I believe, also, that Nova's family were Chinese-American.

The art is so cute and totally made for fall. It's got some creepy, but comfy vibes! We have magic and witches galore, and we love that aesthetic. Also, Tam's puns gave me life!

As for the story, it was cute, but it felt kind of monotonous at times, it felt like I story I've read before (a bit cookie-cutter). I wish there had been more development between Nova and Tam... I know this is a graphic novel and that things are told in a different pace, but the two kiss far too quickly for my liking. I feel like story-wise this could be guided more towards middle grade than YA (which is not a bad thing).

I had fun reading it!
