Thoroughly engaging, unique, and a breathtakingly beautiful endeavour. This volume was brimming with authenticity and heartfelt emotions from the very first pages and upheld that high level of emotions throughout. It wore it's Irish origins with pride and it suited the comic very well.

This was genuinely faultless and the best example of a witch story executed with finesse I've probably ever seen. Even with a simple premise it implemented shock twists and exciting moments between raging battles and gentler magic moments. And to top it all off, the art was absolutely stunning. It completely brought the story and the characters to life and was the kind of art you could stare at for hours and not tire of. This was a joy to read and a masterpiece for which the creators should be extremely proud of.

I would recommend this book for the art alone, but the storytelling was very good too! It was interesting and fun and I loved every second of it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Conor McCreery to provide me a copy of this book.

I would like to apologize first of all because of i am doing a review too late, when i could do it.

Well, i liked reading this book. However it was kinda faster when i read it, in spite of i did not have much time to give a relaxer time spending to read.

4.0

The Last Witch Fear and Fire includes issues 1-5 in the series. Set during the time of year where the witch hunts children, a young girl defies her father and tries to discover the secrets of the witch’s tower.

The story is based on Celtic Mythology and is very sweet. I can see my middle schoolers loving this book. It has Avatar The Last Airbender vibes to it. The art reminds me of the art in Amulet. It isn’t the same style, but it has that feel of a middle grade graphic novel, but with beautiful details in the background like with Amulet. The pages are breathtaking and there were several that I would love to frame and hang on my wall.

I can’t wait to see where this is going next. 5 stars.

Oh, this was great fun! A grand adventure of a girl, Saoirse, coming into her powers as a witch, on a quest to defeat Cailleach, a powerful witch, and her subordinate witches before they can release the Fairy King, Eater of Worlds, bent on Saoirse's world's destruction. After Saoirse's village is destroyed, she escapes with her Nan (who is a green witch) and her little brother, and begins her training in using magic. As we follow her adventures, we learn more and more about her past, her family's past, and the world she lives in, a magical Ireland rich with folklore-inspired wonders. The story is pacy, the world-building good, and the characters are developing nicely. The art is gorgeous, with animation vibes, and goes well with the story. Of course the ending is a cliffhanger, but we expect that from a graphic novel series, don't we? Looking forward to the next volume so I can see what happens next!

This is a wonderfully illustrated compilation of comic issues featuring a young girl needs to save the world because she suddenly finds out she's a witch and has to prevent Armageddon. I'm interested to see how this progresses in later issues. It's a children's/young adult story but that doesn't mean it's all rainbows and sunshine. There are a few things Saoirse has encountered in these five issues that give the narrative a bit of grit.

Featuring Irish lore and setting, the fairies and witches are not nice or to be trusted. Saoirse must gain the strength to keep the Faery gate closed but keep herself from being corrupted by her newfound magic.

By far an extremely good graphic novel. I want to re-read it again so I will be going out after christmas and getting a phyical copy. I highly recommend this to everyone.

The Last Witch: Fear and Fire is like Avatar the Last Airbender, but with folklore and oodles of magic!

"A new young adult fantasy trilogy about a young girl named Saoirse who must save everyone she loves by discovering the truth about the mysterious mark on her shoulder - and embracing her secret magical powers!"

Saoirse, her brother Braum, and their grandmother must go on a quest to save the world from a coven of witches who seek to unleash a terrible power upon humanity. I enjoyed the graphic so much! I found the artwork beautiful and the magic system unique. It was interesting to see how Saoirse must learn about herself as well as the magic she must harness while still respecting where the magic comes from. If you are a fan of folklore and stories about witches, do not miss this graphic. I look forward to the next in the series.

'The Last Witch: Fear and Fire' by Conor McCreery with art by V.V. Glass is a graphic novel about a young girl who discovers something extraordinary about herself.

In a long ago Ireland, a witch comes around once a year to hunt children. Young Saoirse and her brother Brahm disobey orders and things get pretty scary. Saoirse finds out she has to fight a family of witches by tapping in to inner strength she doesn't know she has.

This is a solid young adult fantasy with just enough scary bits to make it a really good read. The art is also very solid making this a good one to recommend to younger readers who like supernatural tales.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from BOOM! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This was so incredible! Like a mixture of Roald Dahl’s The Witches, Faerie Lore, and Arthurian Legend (without Arthur or Merlin, just the setting)! I enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait for the next book!!!

An excellent and beautifully illustrated middle-grade graphic noble based upon old Irish myths and legends in which Saoirse discovers she possesses the power to become a witch, and more than that, must defeat several powerful elemental witches in order to prevent the end of Ireland.

The art in this book is easy on the eyes and easy to follow, the colors are nice and bright too. The main character seems to be a troublesome tween and got grounded on her birthday for trying to sneak off to the witch's tower when she wasn't supposed to. When her father goes to the village for a holiday celebration she sneaks out again and her brother follows her. Turns out there really is a witch at the tower who tries to eat her brother. She's able to resist the witch's magic and run away with her brother. They run into her grandmother who tells her all about the witch and a legend about her and her sisters trying to take over the world. The rest of the story is the three of them trying to kill the witchs before they can take over the world. This book is the first in a series and ends a bit anticlimactically due to that. I'm curious but not excited about the next book.

This was so much darker than I was expecting. And I loved it!

Our main character is Saorise, a 12-year-old girl, but it is definitely not a middle-grade series.

I love the art style. And I love that we're getting into Irish mythology and folklore. Also, like I said, this gets dark. It doesn't pull any punches.

And I NEED more!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing the E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an eARC through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Saoirse wants to celebrate her by going on an adventure to the witch's tower outside of her village. This propels her to discovering her gift. She is a witch and thrust into an adventure with her brother Brahm and her Nan. The goal? Defeat the 4 maidens of Cailleach, witch's in their own right, before they unleash the King of the Faeries who wants nothing but to destroy the world.

This is such a good story. Saoirse is a strong child who has already suffered heartache and loses even more when Cailleach kills everyone in her village. Although, through it all, she finds her strength and pushes through to not only destroy those who caused her hardship, but also protect her little brother. The story is heartwrenching and beautifully dialogued. The art is well done and at times mesmerizing. Brutally honest and beautifully penned, Saoirse's story is not one to be missed. A mesh of Irish folklore and magic, the first installment of Saoirse's journey is just beginning, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

An interesting exploration of the nature of magic, especially in a world where magic is demonized. Really it's thinking about power and it's ability to corrupt. The details are creative and the art is strong.

A fantastic Irish based fantasy with magic and witches and a story that feels old and new at the same time, enchanting and addicting got read, I can’t wait for the next volume,

I ADORED this graphic novel, and it’s not often a middlegrade graphic novel grabs me so fully. This is one I will for sure keep in my top recommendation lists

Really good, evenly paced adventure. No lagging to me. Illustrations are really well done. A good witchy tale to read.

This was fantastic. It's got this Irish folktale vibe to it with some banging animation influenced art. It's about a girl who goes in search of a witch on the one day a myth says the witch is out hunting for children. She, of course, realizes there is truth to some folktales as she looks to defeat all the witches left in Ireland.

3.5/5

The Last Witch: Fear and Fire by Conor McCreery Is an excellent beginning to what is shaping up to be a very interesting, epic story. Saoirse is a young girl who knows she is different, and wants to prove that she is brave. However, her father just wants Saoirse to live quietly as to not draw attention to herself. After an event that rocks Saoirse‘s world, she’s thrown into a quest to avenge what was taken from her. But is also a quest to find who she really is. The problem is, is Saoirse prepared to discover the truth about herself and what she really is?

The art for this book is beautiful. There are some really fun characters an interesting plot lines forming. As far as action goes, it’s pretty standard. I do like that it’s set in an alternate Ireland. The plot can go quite fast at times. Maybe I’m just used to more slow burning adventure plots.

But all together this first instalment is a great window into what’s to come. So I am very excited to continue reading the story and see how it might end.

Also I loved the artwork at the end of the book. Whomever’s decision it was to include them, thank you so much!
