0.25
Comprising of overly-stereotypical anecdotes, Magma fails to flesh out its characters, even the narrator (to the point we learn her age from the back cover) while capturing every aspect of an abusive relationship. Because the characters aren’t fleshed out, the events feel unrealistic.
Graphic: Self harm and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Rape, and Sexual assault
Minor: Drug use
