Book Review
{My thoughts} – Aster is still struggling to find his place within his family. It has become widely well known that he is a witch boy and most individuals keep telling him how it isn’t normal. His own mother doesn’t seem to be very accepting of it either. His friends on the other hand and his sister all seem to have his back a bout it from the beginning.This is a special time for Aster because it is time for the Midwinter Festival. He and his family attend and he wants to take part in the annual Jolrun tournament as a witch. His mother is against it and tells another witch Ariel that she should compete. She isn’t sure about it but she does consider it. Aster ends up getting his feelings hurt after the tournament and we learn some new and interesting information about Arial and where she comes from – in terms of her blood line.I really enjoyed reading this book. It has wonderful illustrations that go nicely with the story. I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it is released. I do believe that this is by far one of my favorite graphic novel series! I highly recommend this book for anyone that enjoys reading graphic novels! It will not disappoint you!

Great for all book lovers of the series. Personally, I haven't read them, but I guess it works if you are into these types of stories.

I could not resist this book. After going to a comic event I met the author, molly. I have a tendency to like witchy books. But other things I like is the lessons you learn in reality from it. To break tradition boxes and grow from learning “that it’s ok. “Like boys dressing up as princesses. Normally societal wolves would bully you till you commit suicide or they kill u in hate. But with this, we say “just be yourself “. Society does try to say “just be yourself “ this gives an example and point it out.We still have a lot of work to do to educate of certain ways of hypocrisy in our society.I do like how the main character is quite a non binary type to me. I’m glad that this is out there to teach children that it’s ok. And that everyone is different.

it is so good!
I loved this book so much!read it all in one sitting. ( I know they say it's the last book, but i hope not. I want to see more of this world. and more of these characters. )I thank this one is the best of the 3. Now we get to see what are witch boy can do! As he shows up all the haters!There is also a bit more LGBT in this book then the other 2, witch I like a lot!((as a side note, on the off-chance the author ever reads this. Maybe add some Trans or Nonbinary characters, if you ever make a new book in this line. I feel like given the themes of the books, they would fit well.))All and all 5 out of 5!

Another fabulous story from Molly Knox Ostertag
I read graphic novels every night with my 9 year old daughter. Along with Amulet and 5 Worlds, this series is one of our favorites. The world of magic in these books is both familiar and strange, with the center on families and clans. In Midwinter Witch, we get to see the larger family of the protagonists and how they share magic lore over generations. I love how Ostertag breaks gender norms with the main characters and tries to free them of the constraints imposed by both themselves and society - it's the kind of empowering narrative I want my daughter to grow up with so she can be whatever she wants to be. Oh, and the stories are fun, dialogue is witty and snappy, and the graphics enjoyable. I can't wait for more from Ostertag!

Good story, wish the series would continue.
So sad that this is the last book of this series. I'm probably to old to be reading these, but this has been an enjoyable series to read, and I think it's something that a lot of kids could use to help them through their struggles.I love the art style, the diversity, and the messages these three books present. They have a similar vibe as Steven Univerese (in terms of messages and diversity), so if you enjoy that series you'll probably like this one.

Great book
A very entertaining book about witches, friendships, confidence and fitting in. My 7 year old daughter loved it... and so did I. This is the third graphic novel of the “witch” series (following “The Witch Boy” and “The Hidden Witch”). All of them are great. The storyline has a nice flow, the characters feel real and the visuals are eye-catching. Time disappeared while reading it. Hope there will be more to come.

Great Book for anyone.
My go-to generic gift these days is the witch boy and this 3rd novel did not disappoint. I cried, my sister cried, my brother cried, everyone cried. It's a great book for anyone who has ever felt isolated.
