MY THOUGHTS
Oh my heart. I loved this book so much. I would like some more of Dani and Damian now…please?
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know about this comic before picking up the book. More importantly, I didn’t know about the WebToon website. Holy moly! If you, like me, are behind on the gifts of the internet, check it out here. There are some wonderful stories just waiting for us.
This story begins with Dani and her twin brother Damian missing the bus to magical school. Then they do what all other magical children have done before them, go directly back home for some solid adult assistance. Hah! Obviously not! They try to figure the whole situation out themselves.
Jumping from one place, making friends and enemies along the way, the next the twins hear whispers of warnings, including something about a prophecy. Overarching themes of good vs evil and what it means to be a “witch” are woven through the delightful day-in and day-out happenings of the twins. And this author touches on some truly deep issues without leaving the adorableness behind.
Sigh. I really loved this whole story. The ending is super abrupt though and I was left feeling like I put my hands on book 1 of 2. But I can’t find that there is more to this story anywhere! If you have any details on the continuation of this story, please let me know.
Tell me, please! What wonderful internet delight have you recently discovered?
