Genre: Manga/Graphic Novels, Fantasy, ThrillerRated: Teen
Annotation:
The Allgood siblings lives get overturned as they are
accused of being a wizard and a witch.
Perhaps the crazy part of it all is that Whit and Wisty never knew! In the confusion and madness of a
police raid more mysteries are discovered than answered as their powers are
awakened. The two are quickly thrown
into several challenges and unknowns as they finally discover how to use their new gifts and what this new life means for them and the ones they love.
Pros: James
Patterson, the author of Maximum Ride, and Dramacon’s Svetlana Chmakova
together in one volume!? It’s a
win-win as the artwork is fun and clean and the story is fast-paced with lots
of action sequences. Patterson's awarded series is
exciting enough that you might just forgive Svetlana for not currently
continuing her Nightschool series.
Cons: This is
considered an OEL (original English language) manga. Typically in the publishing world, that means you’ll have to
wait a little longer for the next release to be published. Worth it but
when you are used to 4+ volumes a year one tends to get spoiled. In terms of
storyline, the plot is a bit fantastic and I thought the trial and hospital
scenes to be a bit much. Overall,
this series is an easy recommendation.
