Corrag had the ability to warm the hearts of those around her with her outlook on life and her thoughts on nature. Witchlight is a wonderful queer adventure filled with friendship, family, falling in love, and dealing with the hardest bits of your past all along the way. These adventures use the rules and tips from Domains of Delight and can be used either as accessories to The Wild Beyond the Witchlight or as standalone adventures". Featuring snails you can ride like horses, a realm of fairies, hare-people, and a Disneyland-esque carnival that's home to the creepiest damn clown we've ever seen, it promises a tale of "wicked whimsy" for entry-level characters. Unfortunatley the ntroduction of Sanja's brother who does [spoilery bad thing] was a bit abrupt for what functions as the main conflict.The slow reveal of Lelek’s past trauma especially engages the reader’s interest and information reveals and reactions keep the narrative moving forward.

Corrag's descriptions combine the oblique originality of a child with the precision and control of a poet!

Witch Light - book review - Jane Alexander

These creatures favour cream and have to be appeased by constant offerings of it or they can start to behave like poltergeists. But she speaks so richly of her wild life, of living in heather and moss and rocks, that I feel I am amongst it. Jessi Zabarsky's young adult graphic novel Witchlight moved with me, and I’m glad I finally got around to picking it up. During the course of listening to the “witch”, he was transformed from a disgusted bigot to a compassionate sympathizer.The reader is constantly reminded of the prejudice that many within the novel attach to Corrag, simply because she is different and leads a life many at the time would have seen as sinful and strange.
