3.5 stars

So this is apparently a continuation of the Netflix TV series, which I haven't seen much of, and unfortunately, it does not stand on its own. I don't know if there is a graphic novel version of the TV series, but you need some context going into it. And the cartoon/GNs based on the cartoon are not enough.

Also, the art style really isn't my cup of tea. Very blocky and sloppy looking.

I normally look mostly for books for our library and a bonus if it’s things I like - but this was purely for me (and of course I’ll add it to our library as well) I loved this show on Netflix and was so bummed when it was cancelled with a cliffhanger so seeing this I immediately requested and read it right away! It was so good! I felt it really stayed true to the show while not just mimicking it exactly. It felt like a true continuation - my only thing is now I need more after that ending and I’m back to the cycle of hopefully we get more! The illustrations looked great as well. Will be recommending 100%.

MY GOD, what an adventure. It was amazing to return to the world of the Winx, especially after the cliffhanger ending it had. I loved this volume, the story flows so well and feels like watching an episode. My only problem is that I need MORE.

The story starts six months after the series ended, with the Winx and Sky worried about Bloom's disappearance and now threatened by shadow monsters and the uncertainty of Alfea's future.

I really loved the style they chose for this graphic novel; the illustrations are beautiful and everything feels true to the series.

The ending was crazy, I need a lot of explanations and I hope the second volume comes out soon because I can't wait for more.

PS: I feel like a mini recap was necessary, but it did left me with a need to rewatch the show, so that also works for me!

4.5/5 🧚🏼‍♀️

Loved the artwork in this! I loved Winx Saga growing up and this was so nice to go back and revisit the girls
