(I received this book from the editor and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

This is such a beautiful graphic novel! I fell in love with the design of the characters from page one. They felt just perfect for the kind of story the author wanted to tell us. In the end, this is a story about a young witch who teaches another one, not a history of witchcraft per se. It does give you a lot of information about familiars, different type of witches, some potions, but I thought it would be more about the role of witches throughout history and less about a particular one.
Still, it was entertaining and maybe useful for people looking for a little bit of information in the topic.

A lovely quick read with lots of great artwork and an interesting and informative storyline
This is a good one for beginners who want to know the basics or for youngsters as an overview of the history of witchcraft
A good read for spooky season!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc

Thank you NetGalley for this arc. This is a beautifully done graphic novel! I’m thankful to have access to it’

“Witchcraft: A Graphic History” by Lindsay Squire is a pretty cool read, especially if you appreciate great illustrations. The artwork is stunning and really brings the history of witchcraft to life, making it visually appealing and engaging.

That said, I felt like the content didn’t dive as deep as I hoped it would. It touches on a lot of interesting points about witchcraft but often just skims the surface. I found myself wanting more detail and context, especially around the impact of witch trials and the social dynamics at play.

In short, it’s a nice mix of eye-catching visuals and a broad overview of the topic. If you’re after something more in-depth, you might be a bit disappointed, but it’s still worth checking out for the illustrations alone. A solid 3.5 out of 5 stars!

This is a super pretty graphic novel about one witch's life and persecution. I expected it to be less focused on one person, but actually liked that aspect. It is very much presented from the perspective of witchcraft is real, which wasn't what I expected. While that doesn't follow my specific beliefs, I found it really interesting and engaging.

Thanks to NetGalley, Lindsay Squire, and Quarto Publishing for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own

Such a wonderful graphic novel and a wonderful introduction to witchcraft for anyone. Packed full of interesting information surrounded by a really interesting tale. I really enjoyed this short read.
