More magical mayhem ensues as Planchette and her new witch friends try to help a ghost bride rest in peace. Join them as they work together to handle a blackmailing Faerie King, a possible new romance, and an overnight camping trip in a profoundly evil forest.

I absolutely adored the first book, but unfortunately, I didn’t like this second volume as much. The illustrations are still beautiful and gorgeous. I still loved the art style and color palette used. It definitely gave me spooky, ghostly, witchy vibes, which I loved. I really enjoyed the friendships between all the witches. 

However, I felt like the pacing was off for this novel. It felt rushed, and it hopped around a bit much too quickly. It was hard to keep track of all the plotlines. The transitions between the plots barely existed, so it felt disjointed and confusing. It felt like too much was crammed into a short novel so that this duology could feel complete. I did appreciate how everything came together for a satisfying conclusion, but the execution needed a bit more work. It felt a bit chaotic at times, and there was a lot going on. There is also a budding queer romance that I wish had stayed on the friendship path and hadn’t veered off in that direction, but it is what it is.

After reading the first book, which set the foundation for the four main characters, I feel like a better approach to this series would’ve been for each character to have gotten her own novel. That way, we would’ve gotten a chance to go more in-depth with each girl, gotten more backstory, and seen more character development. Then a final installment could’ve brought everyone back together and tied up any loose ends. But it’s still a cute, sweet graphic novel with some good life lessons.
