Summary
Young Hag grew up hearing stories about dragons and wizards and magical quests. She has always wanted to be a part of the adventure. However, ever since the door to the Otherworld had been closed, magic has ceased to exist in Britain. But when tragedy strikes Young Hag and her grandmother, maybe she doesn’t want anything to do with magic after all.
When a Changeling crosses their path, Young Hag has no choice but to accept that magic exists. And that maybe, it might be up to her to eventually bring it back to Britain.
Review: Young Hag and the Witches’ Quest
Thanks to ABRAMS Kids and NetGalley for an advanced copy of Young Hag and the Witches’ Quest by Isabel Greenberg to review! This is a King Arthur-based graphic novel, filled with magic, quests, and lots of storytelling. If King Arthur is your jam, this book might just be your thing!
We get a feminist spin on the classic King Arthur story in this, with Greenberg adding her own elements to the story. It feels both familiar and unique, which means it easily grabs your attention. The overall pacing of the story it also really quick, meaning that this is an easy book to pick up in an afternoon. Especially if you like magic and adventure.
I wasn’t necessarily a huge fan of the art style. I do think it fits the overall tone of the story, it just wastn’ my favorite thing. It’s not super detailed, though it feels like it fits the time period that this is set in.
All in all, if you like fast-paced fantasy graphic novels, this might just be for you!
3/5 stars
