Books of Magic, Vol. 1: Moveable Type

Ugh this might have been a four but there were several things that annoyed me. First Tom Fowler's depictions of faces was maddeningly distracting and confusing, was the character hurt? No, Fowler just draws weird faces sometimes rendering teenager to look like they're geriatric or oddly puffy. I didn't understand the animosity between Tyler and Tim, I guess there needed to be an antagonist? But that feels pretty weak as the much more interesting antagonist is the threat of other magicians. Because teenage boys? That feels lazy and unimaginative.
And the last thing, why is Tim so open about magic at school?
Maybe this is closer to a 2.5
But things that I loved: the return of Yo-yo, the tie in to the storyline about The Dreaming crumbling, Hettie, and the ravens

I don't know how to feel about Dr. Rose
