Critics Review
“Mythological in scale, this immersive, timeless epic features occasional rhymes… and off-kilter, handwritten lettering draw the eye, requiring more time to absorb. The illustrations have a singular, psychedelic style and feature a wide range of stunning colours. Extraordinary creatures with unusual appearances–the stuff of dreams and nightmares–also appear.” - Foreword Reviews
“My favorite comic artist is back with my favorite subject … a witch! Thank you, Donya, for always reminding me of the joy and magic of making comics.” - Junko Mizuno, Pure Trance
“This book is delightfully weird and maybe a tiny bit deranged. Expect beautiful artwork, talking eggs, witches, cats, frogs, the devil, and some very human family dynamics.” - Isabel Greenberg, The One Hundred Nights Of Hero
