Magic Mutant Nightmare Girl
Ratings1
Average rating2
Fight like a magical girl in this paperback original contemporary fantasy in which a Harajuku fashionista battles mutants-and social anxiety-by teaming up with an elite group of outcasts. Perfect for those obsessed with the technicolor worlds of Sailor Moon, The Umbrella Academy, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holly Roads uses Harajuku fashion to distract herself from tragedy. Her magical girl aesthetic makes her feel beautiful-and it keeps the world at arm's length. She's an island of one, until advice from an amateur psychic expands her universe. A midnight detour ends with her vs. exploding mutants in the heart of San Francisco. Brush with destiny? Check. Waking up with blue blood, emotions gone haywire, and terrifying strength that starts ripping her wardrobe to shreds? Totally not cute. Hunting monsters with a hot new partner and his unlikely family of mad scientists? Way more than she bargained for.

2 stars for the beautiful cover, the sailor-moon aesthetic, and the queer inclusion...buuuuut the writing and development remained FLAT for me. All the descriptions were just ever so plain and cliche, which translated into the whole style of writing which simply wasnt for me. Perhaps its a me thing, maybe not...bummed because DAMN is that cover beautiful, like the kind of coloring book cover I'd love as a kid, yet the content of the book just didn't do it for me. MAYBE I would understand publishing it if more editing, re-writing, and development went into it (and maybe dont use the same class of descriptors for skin tones all the time!?) because hey, the idea is cool, but the writing was sub par. Eggh sorry..
