While the art in this graphic novel is great, the storytelling is hampered by some odd stylistic choices. The first chapter is heavy with narration, leading to a slow start that unfortunately sets the pace for the rest of the book.

With its suspenseful opening, Goat Magic immediately pulls you into a story that is both fun and profoundly deep. Kate Wheeler writes her characters—human and animal alike—with a delightful realism that makes every interaction feel authentic. The goats, in particular, are unpredictable, roguish marvels that steal every scene they’re in.

This book is clever, witty, and an absolute blast—I was laughing out loud from beginning to end. Beyond the fantastic humor, it’s a genuinely compelling story with excellent pacing and a heartwarming theme of acceptance.

This book is so much fun—evil in the most delightful way possible. It's a brilliant story about not belonging, the struggle to find your niche, and the courage it takes to break free from society's expectations. And how, with proper support, one can rebuild themself after profound loss and grief.

Conceptually, Raging Clouds is fascinating. It's a powerful feminist critique of 16th-century Dutch patriarchy. The main character is compelling in her quiet rejection of the housewife role in favor of intellectual pursuits. The story serves as a stark reminder of the deplorable treatment women have historically endured.

This graphic novel is dark, broody, and completely engrossing. I was so captivated that I devoured it in a single sitting.

The Nothing Special series is my absolute favorite graphic novel series of all time! It is utter perfection. Humor, whimsy, magic, a fast moving and engaging plot, and art work that makes me downright giddy with excitement. Even the little extras in the margins are so darn cute!

Witty, playful, and snarky. This graphic novel is more like a tableau of scenes with various birds (and a few other random critters). I appreciated its playfulness and found some of the scenes insightful and/or humorous, but ultimately I missed the cohesion of a story.

Light and playful. I consumed this all in a single sitting.

I love how environmentally conscious this book is. And it is so refreshing how the grandma in this story is portrayed as strong and actively adventurous, rather than simply old and frail.
