Summary: Even better than the first one
Comment: I bought the first comic of Courtney Crumrin on a whim, and I eagerly bought the newest installment, the Coven of Mystics. The plot of this one is even better than the first one. It adds depth to all the existing characters and also introduces us to some promising new ones, such as Ms. Crisp, Courtney's new no-nonsense teacher, and Tobermory, the leader of the cats. The Coven of Mystics also alludes to the politics of the magical community that Courtney is only beginning to venture into.
Basically this story is about love, whether romantic or familial. The story takes many turns, some of them can be terrifying and bad things sometimes happen to good people. It's a very rewarding graphic novel and one well worth your money.

Summary: Courtney is Back
Comment: Courtney is a school girl whose family has moved in with their great-uncle. The clueless parents have no idea what is really going on and they make are pretty much left out of this volume.
Instead, we get more interaction between Courtney and her uncle, a powerful sorcerer. This volume has more of a continuous plot than the first and gives us a better idea of the magic community.
Courtney may be tough and headstrong, but even she knows to be careful when something very nasty has been summoned in the woods. Will her uncle be able to stand against it?
Then Courtney is privileged to visit the night world of the cats and meets a new friend. A friend that others believe has harmed a popular sorceress. Courtney and her uncle work to save him.
As Courtney works to save her friend, she learns more of the Council and the politics that seem to drive it. Courtney is not pleased.
These four tales are a little darker than those of the first volume, but Courtney shows good character development (see what happens when she reads a poem in school) and the additional information about the world of magic is very well done.
An excellent continuation of the series. I look forward to more.
