    But Why Tho? - Lizzy Garcia

    My only real issue with Mooncakes is the pacing. The graphic novel is fairly hefty and moves slow.

That being said, the story is delightful and would be enjoyed by fans of Studio Ghibli or the video game Life is Strange which is more adult but explores similar themes. Read Full Review

In MOONCAKES, the identity of each character is organic and feels intrinsic to the story in ways that most novels (graphic or otherwise) only dream of achieving. MOONCAKES is all about the magic of witches and werewolves, but it is a bit of magic in its own right too. Read Full Review

    Working with the Deaf and Hearing and Hearing community myself, it's great to see a portrayal of the strength of having to rely on other senses. I enjoyed the novel's depictions of different family dynamics. It shows that all families are held together in distinctive ways; that love and acceptance are at the core. Read Full Review
