Description

London. The winter of 1952. A mysterious and deadly Smog has enveloped the city leaving it in a panic. Crime is up, hospitals are overrun, businesses are closed and all travel is shut down.

It’s the perfect cover for Dorothy Schafer to carry out her revenge plan against The Circle–an agency of mages and witches sworn to protect London from crime and disease since the Middle Ages.

Under The Circle’s rules, Dorothy’s husband, John, was unjustly found guilty of murder and the punishment was swift: a Demon was summoned and dragged him straight to Hell. To get vengeance for her husband, Dorothy undertakes a quest to craft a blade for battle against The Circle…and Hell itself.

Witchcraft and demons and REVENGE!

The Order of the Circle is the dark and dangerous magic you need in your life! This story focuses on a cursed girl as she attempts to enact her revenge on those that wronged her all while attempting to do the unthinkable. Slay a demon.

The illustrations and story within these pages are so exceptional. They evoke emotions and showcase the vulnerabilities of the characters. They also depict some of the most badass moments you can think of. I was hooked on this story within moments and I know readers are going to sink their teeth into this story and will be clamoring for more!

The Order of the Circle killed Dorothy's husband John when he threatened to expose the extent of their corruption. Dorothy is now looking for revenge on the Circle and the demon that dragged John to Hell.

"There is no truer justice than that of the purest revenge."

I really enjoyed my time with this graphic novel! It has a unique voice, and the art fits it perfectly. Mkheidze has a distinct art style that easily switches between pretty and gritty. She also has a keen eye for interesting, innovative compositions. Combined with De La Cruz' colouring and Mirabella's lettering The Order of the Circle is a feast for the eyes.

This is a cohesive story that feels like the beginning of something bigger. The world is intriguing and begs to be explored further. I am also eager to get to know the characters better in future installments.

"There is a certain feeling one has after their first kill. It is no different from person to person. All of us are built compassion, guilt and empathy. So, in killing someone, you manifest suffering within yourself."

The Order of the Circle is for you if you enjoy an adult story set in a rich fantasy world with layered characters.

TW include, but are not limited to: corpse mutilation, mutilation, death, forced drugging.
