Arcana: The Lost Heirs by Same Prentice-Jones

3.5 out of 5 tarot cards

Arcana: The Lost Heirs reminds me of Heartstopper, but aged up and witchy, with an art style that feels reminiscent of ND Stevenson. It manages to feel so familiar, yet distinctly its own thing all at once. The story follows five witches in their early twenties as they come together and uncover a mystery that haunts their families’ pasts. The characters are distinct and diverse and while the plot pulls from a lot of the sources you’d expect, Arcana still manages to feel fresh. As with all first volumes for graphic novel series, there’s a lot of set up here and it drags the pacing a little. This is also marketed as YA when the characters are a bit older than the typical YA protagonists and act their age. I can’t wait to see where this series goes.

Thank you to Macmillan and NetGalley for this eARC given in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
