damn I got no way to articulate my thoughts except for:
a) This is easiest 5 stars I’ve given to a comic in a while
b) I really enjoyed the bits of worldbuilding across the chapters. Made the setting feel more natural as the magical creatures and problems were being introduced! Some of the smallness of the town’s magical problems gives a couple parts a cozier/more slice-of-life feel but there’s still a helping of mystery. 
c) Artwork was BEAUTIFUL!!! Seriously! Scrumptious to the eyes the whole time. There was so much movement, too. From the spells, to the transformations, to the times Mamo would wreak havoc. 
d) I liked how the magic behind binds and debts tied into Orla’s complicated relationship with Mamo. It creates an extended metaphor throughout, as Orla deals with coming back.  
e) Sapphics :)👍👍 in general though I really enjoyed Orla and Jo’s interactions. 

I give up on trying to make a formal review for this, my reviews aren’t the most sophisticated anyhow. If I do, it’ll probably be from me giving this a reread. (It’s not uncommon for me to reread a graphic novel the second I finish it. Lets me look at the storytelling I might’ve skimmed over and, also, shows me how much I truly enjoyed reading it lol).
