Temperance is an ogre born in the Mist and raised up by a gang of witches. She is taken care of by Grissette, her grandma, who feeds her a lot of pumpkin soup and teaches her kung-fu.

But pumpkin is also known of keeping the big and terrafying mist away. They all know that once the mist swallows you, you are as good as dead and lost forever. So when the mist attacks them anyway, Temperance is the only one with the courage to fight it off and save an old witch from their village.

Then Temperance, Grissette, Asma the leader with another witch + a cute human girl called Helen leave together in a long adventure to fight the mist and its enemies once and for all. But less they know this adventure will cost them to be attacked by The Lost Ones and find out terrafying secrets that were best kept hidden. Temperance learns more about herself and bonus points: she will get an adorable unexpected kiss from a character.

I really liked this graphic novel! It was fast-paced, lovely, funny at times and kept me glued. There were a few points that were left out (maybe we'll get to know those in the next installments), hence the 4 stars. But overall it was enjoyable and the illustrations are a combo of gothic and colorful. The story is beautiful and the cliffhanger killed me! I need to know more and I cannot wait for the next one (no info on Goodreads yet, though).

Anyways, I recommend this one if you love: Graphic novels; Witches; Forest setting; Funny and comical characters; A strong female main character; The chosen one trope....more

The second installment in the Archibald Finch series was more fun for me than its prequel. Archibald changed since he came back from Lemurea and Hailee has a hard time believing his story of where he'd been.
Soon after they discover some prints on the floor and Archibald realizes that a Marodor traveled back with him. And there's only one person who can help him get rid of it: Faerydae. So he goes back to Lemurea and asks Hailee to bring him back in an hour.
He manages to find her and bring her to their home, where the 4 kids reunite: Archibald, Faerydae, Hailee and Oliver. They each contribute in discovering a riddle that could help them on their mission.
I loved the London setting, the mystery and the plot, the adventures and the found family trope. A big problem were the parents who seemed to be missing most of the story (how convenient!). And grandpa Harvey was a bit of a wacko. But other than that, the story was better and more fun for me than the first one.
Looking forward to the next installment. Rating: 3.75/4 stars....more

Ray Grey is the only one of the Weatherlings who doesn't have any power to control. Her best friends can control snow and rain, but they're all very great together.
One day, she finds an old book at the library, and that book has a map with an X. It's a map from Earth and along with her cloud friend, Nim, she goes to Earth to see what the treasure is.
The discovery she makes changes her life forever.
The story was really predictable, but it was creative, and the characters were sweet. I especially loved Ray's parents. Her mum is an engineer having all sorts of tools in her hair so she can reach them faster.
The story is action-packed mostly, full of active moments, discoveries and intensity.
I felt amazing reading and listening to the book at the same time. Looking forward to the next two books in this trilogy....more
