nicely illustrated. Fun easy to follow story. We find the coven in a mission to the red Isle. When they arrive there is a war between light and dark, the City and Nature. The City wants the Rakka, they a draining it from the earth. Soon people start dying faceless and the mining could be the cause. The Coven are then Wrongly accused and o fight for their innocence and the lives of all human on the red Isle. Overall fun to read,

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this digital arc. All opinions are my own and only for this book.

An interesting graphic novel with themes of over extraction of resources, environmental conservation and politics revolving these, the story is simple and geared more towards middle grade to young adult readers.
This seems to be a companion graphic novel to the author's well known series which I haven't read but the book can be read as a standalone.

Coven is a graphic novel from the author of The School for Good and Evil. Hester, Anadil and Dot are the main characters in this book; a trio of witches and best friends who solve magical mysteries together. They answer a call from the Red Isle, where the Light and Dark lands are close to war after a spree of deaths.

The coven of witches are characters from Chainani's other series of middle grade books, and whilst I think there may be some little 'easter eggs' to find for fans of The School for Good and Evil, the story still works without knowing the background of the trio or the world. I didn't feel like I was missing anything having not read the main series.

There was a strong theme running throughout this book, about climate change and caring for our planet. It came across well, if a little cliché at times. Friendship also came up a lot and I liked the friends' dynamic and them realising how much they care for each other as the story progresses.

I liked the art style and it worked well with the story, however something about this story just didn't land for me. I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.

Unexpectedly fun! I didn’t realize before I started this it was taking place in the same world as School for good and evil but i also think you don’t have to necessarily read any of those books beforehand! It was really fun to see the coven live their lives of adventure and friendship separately from the initial story from School for Good and Evil. The art felt very fitting to me and really brought the characters to life. It definitely had some cliche tropes but for me it didn’t stop it from being fun at all!

Thank you NetGalley for sending me a copy of this!
I adore Graphic Novels, they're perfect palette cleansers for me when I start slumping or just don't know what to read. The illustrations/imagery in this novel was sooooo good!
This one is about Hester, Anadil and Dot who are the peace protectors and are detectives in the Endless Woods. They never leave a case unsolved, until one day the get a call from the Red Isle where the Light and Dark Lands are on the brink of war due to a spree of deaths. And they need to find who the killer is.

I thought this was very immersive from the beginning. I loved the characters so much. I enjoyed the dark vibes also!
This was my first by this author and I don't think it'll be my last!
Thank you so much!

I loved the original school for good and evil books (1-6), but since then, the spin off books have been so disappointing and this was another disappointment.
The artwork is subpar. I hate to put an artist down, but given how big this series was, I just feel like the art felt a bit cheap and unfinished.
The story was dull and uninspired. Nothing new.
I honestly found very little to enjoy about this comic book, and wouldn't recommend it, even to fans of the school for good and evil.

We follow a trio of detectives/mystery solvers, who are also witches.
This is entertaining for children, but I would not say the same for adults.
I will continue to read Chainani though.
Will not be reviewing this elsewhere not to steer the target audience away from this book.
The story did not appeal to my tastes is all.

I was really looking forward to this as I love other work by Soman Chainani

I was really disappointed as the story was very disjointed and extremely simplistic, I did finish the whole book but sort of regret pushing it.

The artwork was also quite simplistic and a really didn't help the story
