This graphic novel is definitely for fans of "The Craft" or witch content in general. Being in a friend group isn't easy when there is conflict. In the case of this graphic novel, the girls are able to come together over their mutual love of a tree in their small town. I think if you are looking for something heavily focused on the magic, this novel might not be for you. However, if you enjoy a story about navigating friendship and love then this will be up your alley.

Thank you to NetGalley and Europe Comics for this e-book!

Eve, Diane, Lily and Morgane are old friends who reunite to save a beloved elm tree. They use witchcraft to save the tree but mistakenly summon the Demon of Chaos. The friends are now responsible for fixing the chaos. It's an interesting and involved friendship story.

3.5 stars - A fun witchy-themed graphic novel told through stunning artwork and featuring four MC's who each have their own distinct personalities! I really appreciate that there was LGBTQIA+, larger bodied, and BIPOC representation too - we love to see ALL the diversity!

It did seem like the creators pulled from modern teen classics; Pop's Diner from Riverdale can be seen in the background and the four best friend's that are rekindling their friendship in high school gave strong Pretty Little Liars vibes. While this is a cute nod to those fandoms, I would've liked this to remain totally original.

Even though I don't have any outright negative thoughts surrounding this graphic novel there also isn't anything strongly pulling me towards a higher rating. If you're looking for a fast & fun read this will definitely provide that! (And here's hoping this becomes a series to get to know the entire coven better!)

2.5/5.0

A wholesome graphic novel with witchy vibes. A fun little read with beautiful art.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for a review!

This graphic novel follows a group of four teenage friends who perform a witchcraft ritual to save a tree from being cut down. They very quickly find out they got more than they bargained for.

2/5 star read

This book had an interesting enough storyline, and a fantastic colour palette. However, it just didn’t feel quite ready for publication. Every element of the novel was slightly below the quality I would expect from a published work. This extends to the writing, pacing, art, character development, and overall plot. It had a good idea at its core, but just needed some more time and training on the part of the creators. I do hope they keep working, because I believe there was so much promise shown across the board.

A thrilling supernatural graphic novel that sees four friends dabble in witchcraft to save the town's magnificent elm tree.

When that tree is saved, they then dabble some more to prove that it was their witchcraft, and then life starts going chaotic. After a lot of bickering, they band together to overcome their demons.

Coven, heavily influenced by The Craft movie, had a great storyline that could be continued as a series as the ending was somewhat open-ended. Characters were drawn with their own individuality and identity, which built up the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Europe Comics for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This graphic novel was hilarious and well-drawn, definitely worth the money and the hype, and I hope will be successful!

Coven is a fun, witch graphic novel with demons and magic galore. The graphics are great and the story s delightful.

Coven is a witchy graphic novel that features a group of witches fighting a chaos demon. It''s a crazy fun adventure with a lot to offer! I am very excited to see future installments, but I also want to mention the artwork and style fits perfectly and is stunning!

I really enjoyed reading Coven. A fun witchy read with eitches, rituals, a witchy shop, a coven and demon. I liked the graphics in the book. All the witchy, magical images and images of demons.

please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
this was a super fun graphic novel about a group of 4 friends who explore witchcraft together.
the illustrations were beautiful and the story moved quickly. there were tons of horror/spooky easter eggs thrown around which were fun to try and find.
there were some tense moments without being scary and definitely an opening for a prequel or subsequent book about what happens next.
great diversity throughout and gave late 80's/90's vibes without being cringy or corny while following a group of high school teens.

A very fun graphic novel about a group of witches battling their first chaos demon. I really enjoyed this and absolutely loved the ending which opens up many new possibilities for this expanding Coven.

The writing fit perfectly and the illustration is glorious. Cannot wait for the next instalment and get deeper into these characters.

This was such a fun and interesting comic! Very witchy vibes, found family aka coven, demon of chaos, a mysterious witchy mentor, this book was amazing! I also loved the art so much omg. It was so cute, it made me want to start drawing again ❤️

-- ty to the authors, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

Review
I adored this graphic novel! It had everything I enjoy and more besides! But I won’t get ahead of myself with this review. The premise or blurb of this graphic novel is rather ‘simple’. Eve(I love her), Diane (and I love her), Lily (and I love her too) and Morgane (and I love her three…well you get the idea) are all young rebels with a mission. The beloved elm tree in the friends park is slated for felling to make way for a paved picnic area and no one seems to care! The girls are angry and appalled and decide when all seems lost they will turn to witchcraft to save it. They are even more surprised when the ritual seems to work but soon after strange happenings awaken them to a terrible reality a Demon of Chaos has somehow been summoned and is hell-bent on destroying them. Will they be able to banish the demon or will it manage to tear the group apart?

One thing I need to say is the inclusion of ‘posters’ from The Craft and The Faculty as well as Buffy the Vampire slayer spoke not only to teenage me but adult me as well! I adore those movies and shows and I have to say this graphic novel fits right into that genre and theme. The story on the surface seems simple, the good old ‘good’ vs ‘evil trope but it’s so much more than that. While we see the girls friendships and relationships with their parents and friends as well as the ‘action’ and drama the Demon of Chaos unleashes on their lives.

I thought each of the four friends had time to shine and despite potentially falling into some tropes and cliches it worked with the group dynamic. On top of that I loved the inclusion that was just there, as it should be. I also adored the twist at the end which I did not see coming at all.

As far as the art style and colours go they are fabulous. I loved the style itself and I adored the expressions some of the characters pulled at certain times. Eve had some particularly good expressions throughout but I felt the emotions were conveyed well with both the colours, surroundings and expressions/body language of the characters.

I will definitely be looking out for work by both the author and artist since I loved both the writing and art. If you love witchy reads, fun and friendship as well as a sprinkle of horror you will find it in Coven!

A fun Queer, witchy Graphic Novel about a group of friends practicing a spell to save an Elm Tree but accidentally awaking a Demon!
Beautiful art style by the illustrator!

Oh. I'm mixed-feeled.
I love the aesthetic of the story. But I don't know, I think it wasn't for me. I didn't click with the characters and I didn't care this much about what could happend to them :/
I think it can please lots of people and I still had a good time but it clearly wasn't the book of the year to me :(

But I'm glad I read it, I was very attracted by the cover and was curious about the content :)

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC !

Very fun graphic novel!

The art is absolutely gorgeous, all of the details made me really giddy. The movie posters in the girls' rooms were an especially excellent touch. I love how distinct the characters'styles were without feeling too out there, like they could actually be friends in real life without it feeling too cliquey (e.g. Nerds and jocks).

Lily was my favourite character, but I wanted to see more of her relationship. It felt a bit flat as to why she kept it secret, that felt like it was falling more into a stereotype than anything else in the plot.

Would definitely recommend for lovers of the movie The Craft or fiction podcast Bloodythirsty Hearts.

Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy ✨

This really felt like an update version of The Craft - if you leave out all of the creepy 90s junk. I really enjoyed this and can't wait to see how the world likes it as well.

It was cute and sometimes interesting, sadly enough I don't think I am the target audiance for this graphic novel. I have a hard time reading them espeacially when I don't have a physical copy, it can also be caused by my poor eyesight. I wish this auther all the best and luck, wishing this reaches the right audiance who can love it.

This was such a fast paced, enjoyable book, Thankyou NetGalley and Europe comics for the chance to read this! This was so like the craft but so much better in my opinion, the characters were so easy to get and understand and they were extremely likeable through the whole book. The witchy vibes from this book are perfect for fall season, I expected it to be a slow read but I couldn’t put it down once I started reading, and the END I was not prepared but it couldn’t have been more perfect!
