Thank You NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoying how the story is unfolding but for every answer I get I have several more questions. A few new characters have been introduced and still figuring out how it is all connected, which keeps me coming back! Watching Kody and Lumine's relationship evolve into a real friendship makes my heart happy. Kody ahs constantly been bullied and Lumine is just what he needed.

The only issue I can say that I had is when the writing is in white in a black bubble. The text was difficult to read.

Lumine has been a slow build on action, creating characters I have very much enjoyed getting to know, including the titular character who is the bodyguard, an admittedly cute fluffy one, for Kody, a witch boy who can’t perform magic and is ostracized by his fellow students. One of his main antagonists is a witch girl named Calla who the series set up to be distinctively bullishly in a mean girl wish someone would throw a bucket of water on this witch kind of way, but her backstory in this volume reveals she was once close friends with Kody and outs her on a redemption path. Also, Lumine’s past comes calling and may cost Kody what is left of his family in the process. Much mystery and intrigue abounds and I eagerly await the next volume. The art as always is stunning and greatly enjoyable and Lumine, though more powerful, remains his adorkable self.

In Volume Three, we learn Kody and Lumine survived being napped by witch hunters- barely. Kody’s father Aiden surprises Lumine by firing him from his bodyguard job in preference for being Kody’s friend instead. After a discussion with Calla, Kody returns to school only to find it eerily quiet amongst his classmates. It appears Calla has convinced the students to end their bullying. Despite the good news, more trouble befalls Kody and his family. Will they be able to escape it this time, too?

Lumina holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the very first Webtoons I ever read on the app years ago and now here I am reviewing the ARC copy of Volume 3. 🥹 Just as it did years ago, the story pulled me in and held me watching Aiden fight. Lumine’s ability to sense danger and protect Kody is shows his nature to protect his pack and I love seeing that relationship grow.

I received an e-ARC and am giving my honest review

Lumine was one of the first webcomics I got into in early high school, now I’m a junior in college and this was such a refreshing nostalgia trip. I had forgotten how much I adore these characters and how stunning the artwork is!! This is such an incredible graphic novel and I’d highly recommend to anyone

I regret to say that I was unable to finish this book. Despite multiple attempts, I found myself unable to engage with the characters or the narratives. Unfortunately, I did not develop any lasting interest in the story, which ultimately hindered my ability to continue reading.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC copy.

I have been following Lumine for years over on Webtoons. And seeing this story grow outside of the app has been amazing. Vol. 3 explores some of the darker areas of this world and leads you wanting more.

I enjoyed this volume a lot. The pacing was good and it left off on a cliffhanger. I don't really remember what happened in the previous volume too much since there's a big enough gap in publication between volumes, but it looks like we're finally going to get more information about Lumine's past. I was sad that it looks like things are going to get harder for Kody.

a gorgeous, fun and adventerous story of friendship, family and strength
Kody is hospitalized after using magic while being kidnapped by witch hunters

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the Arc!

The end of this book was absolutely gut-wrenching in the most exciting way, and I can't wait what the next volume has in store! The art is great to look at and absolutely love the blooming friendship between Lumine and Kody and how they slowly open up to one another.

I am obsessed with this webtoon, as soon as volume 3 was available to pick up i grabbed it and dropped my current read because its Lumine, i can't get enough of the cute protective wolf.

OH dear the ending was heartbreaking, but also the start to a new beginning in a new place. I am so ready for what happens next.

I absolutely love this story! So much happens in this book, raising countless questions while leaving me hoping that certain characters are okay. These two have been through so much, yet their journey is far from over.

If you enjoy stories packed with action, deep friendships, strong family ties, and heartbreaking backstories, this is definitely a must-read.

The artwork is stunning, bringing the story to life in such a powerful way. I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two kids!
