It’s the last day of Pride month so one last publication with a q***r book (last publication with these colors, we don’t stop reading q***r!). We will also publish a blog post about your q***r book recommendations and the books I didn’t finish yet ^^ Anyway, back to the story. This is a debut graphic novel for YA. It has an interesting concept of using tarot cards in this magical world. What I liked about the book: the color codes for each character (and learning more about them), the body positivity, the q***r representation, and found family. I am intrigued and would like to know what #2 will bring (already have this one^^), I just hope there will be less “haha” after each sentence because they take away the seriousness of the story and more depth but since it’s the first one, I think we dive into this later.
James, Daphne, Koko, and Sonny have all grown up surrounded by magic in the Arcana, an organization of witches that protects the magical world, run by the mysterious and secretive Majors. Eli Jones, however, didn’t even know other witches existed . . . until he stumbled into James. As James introduces Eli to the world of the Arcana, he finds the family he never had, and a blossoming romance with James. The five new friends soon realize that sinister things are afoot and everything may not be what it seems at the Arcana. When the group delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the deaths of their parents and the Major’s rise to power, they discover that they’re at the center of a curse - one they’ve just unwittingly set into motion. As the friends search for answers, they’ll have to confront the cursed legacy that links them in hopes of freeing their futures.
