Publish date: 27th January 2026. A Spell for Drowning follows Kensa Rowe, a child haunted by her father’s hanging and considered a pariah in the Cornish fishing village Portscatho. To find her place, she becomes the village ‘wise woman’ and learns to heal, as well as the ‘Old Ways’ (aka magic). I was pleasantly surprised…
However, this chapter doesn’t delve much into ADHD and could ‘just’ be a restless/hyperactive child, nervous about its first day of school.
The blurb promised a little too much. But the illustrations and art style are really wonderful, drawn with love.
Wonderfully sweet illustrations. I also like the “fascinating facts” list at the end of the book. Didn’t know that stingrays have something in common with bees!
It started off real good. A bit cliché but the art is wonderful enough, as well as the magic system and of course the opening with: “The Words”.
“What’s the point?”
Started very unexpected, but delivered the melancholy I hoped for well.
First two stories made me want to throw hands with the creator(s) of the comics. Apart from that, the illustrations are and the style is cute.
Infinity Nikki is an open world RPG based around being a stylist and dressing your avatar to enter styling competitions. Along the way, you’ll meet new friends who need your help solving mysteries and fighting corruption. First impressions, I expected a tween girl cringefest – so much pink, pretty, cutesy and an initial galaxy sequence…
I found the reason quite realistic but the way it was set up with the newspaper maybe a little … forced. A cute idea but some aspects weren’t necessary.
