Carmen reviewed Hooky by Míriam Bonastre Tur
Review of 'Hooky' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
After missing the bus to Magic School, the twins Dani and Dorian begin their education as wizards with Master Pendragon culminating in a series of adventures with a broad group of friends: Nico, the most troublemaker of them all, who will gradually open up, the cheesy and romantic princess Monica, who wants to save her prince, and the reserved Mark.
However, not everything is as nice as it seems. What these twins do not expect is to be pursued by different groups of magical families, who believe that firstly they are traitors to the witches and secondly, that one of the two will be the King or Queen of a prophecy.
Despite its seemingly childish style, Hooky has a dark fantasy feel to it that I loved. Although it may not come across as such, don't be put off by its eye-catching and cute style because Hooky also has dark …

Despite its seemingly childish style, Hooky has a dark fantasy feel to it that I loved. Although it may not come across as such, don't be put off by its eye-catching and cute style because Hooky also has dark moments: some people die, and many other horrible things. Sometimes the story indeed felt a bit chaotic, meaning as if the order was a bit random, but I didn't stop loving it at any moment.
I found all the characters adorable, flawless, and funny. They have incredible personalities and are different from what we are used to normally. Finally, I loved the relationship between the Wytte twins. A story where the siblings get along so well, look out for each other, and have such a beautiful relationship is to be appreciated. All in all, a great graphic novel/webtoon and I can't wait for the next volume to be published.
