Thank you to the author and NetGalley for giving me an ARC.

This was a really lovely graphic novel about two girls finding their courage, and also each other, on their quest to save the kingdom.

The art was absolutely beautiful and I really loved the facial expressions - especially the goat's side-eye at the end.

I really liked the narrative of Ayla figuring out that just because she's lived a prosperous upbringing, not everyone has, and that the monarchy has done things to harm the citizens. It was a really powerful development of self-discovery and I loved that it made her more dedicated to fixing what had gone wrong and pushing for positive change.

I loved Trill's own journey of discovery with her magic and finding confidence in her abilities. It was really lovely to see her confidence grow and how she developed throughout the novel.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for gifting me an early copy of Goat Magic!

It tells the story of Trill a goat herder who has powers related to goats and she meets Alya- a princess who got cursed and transforms into a goat during the day.

I adored this book! The concept was rather unique and I enjoyed the Alya’s character development and various realisations on how the kingdom functions.

The drawings were so cute and I loved reading about how the author designed and worked on Goat Magic!

I would highly recommend it!

This was such a lovely graphic novel.
The main characters were both very distinct and grew a lot over the course of this book and their relationship was beautiful to watch blossom as well.
While the plot was predictable, the world building and magic system had many unique ideas, I especially loved the goat magic.
I also loved the art style a lot, it’s perfect for the story.
All in all a beautiful graphic novel, highly recommend.

When I saw the title “Goat Magic”, I was intrigued: magical goats?, goats doing magic?, I had to read the blurb and then immediately picked it up, the story follows Trill a young goat herder who can communicate with her flock and can do magic, but dreams of a life beyond the mountains, a life full of adventure and not just goat magic, on her way to the market she meets a small black goat who turns out to be none other than the royal princess Alya, whose been cursed to turn into a goat each sunrise, together, they must embark on a journey to break the curse and save the kingdom.

I recommend this book for people who like whimsical fantasy adventures.

This is a wholesome story full of magic and goats.

Going into this graphic novel I expected to get a lighthearted story but it was a pleasant surprise that the story arc of the characters had an amazing development.

This is about a princess where she doesn't know if she will be ever fit to rule and about a girl that has the unique magic to talk to goats and consider this magic insubstantial. I loved both of them and I would highly recommend to take a look when it is published.

I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in August. A funny sapphic magic story involving goats? I immediately signed up for it and my "Yes please" turned into a "I knew this was going to be good and I was right".

This Graphic Novel is visually stunning with many of the background behind the panels having colour, or blending with the panels to extend the art. This is also a very unique art style which I can appreciate as some all blend together after a while. The fact that the main characters are also unique in their styles is also refreshing as you can really tell that they belong in this world.

A goat herder, Trill, and a princess Alyannu (that has fallen under a curse where she becomes a goat during the day), travel together to try and find a cure and get back to Alya's mom who has been injured in a road side attack.

The troubles that they have on the road, and at the capital are understandable (nothing can ever be easy on a quest), but it also helps the characters come into their personalities and show their true potential!

A wonderful graphic novel for those that want some adventure with coziness sprinkled in.
