Zoc has an unusual gift: her hair attracts water, allowing her to drag huge quantities of it along behind her. But somehow her extraordinary ability only ever seems to get her into trouble. Struggling to discover her purpose in life, Zoc finds a way of using her talents to help a flooded town. On her journey, she'll encounter wandering minstrels, hostile townsfolk, and the fiery Kael, whose equally unusual gift might just make for the perfect friendship.

plein de beauté et de mélancolie, les illustrations sont superbes (j'ai particulièrement apprécié les arbres).

Beautiful artwork and a really moving story to top it off. I really liked how this dealt with real topics but in a less in your face way and while also having a unique premise with a magical twist. I loved this.

A fantastic fantasy novel telling a unique story. Zoc can drag rivers with her hair and she could hide that gift or help others. Her first try doesn't go as she planned, but soon she'll find an answer. Love the soft and slow pace of the panel and design including a few silent pages. 
Although her ability is quite surreal the message is quite relatable. Don't give up your unique gift just to go with the crowd. You may be able for a while but not forever.
Thank you Netgalley for the chance to give my honest opinion.

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

With magic embedded in the mundane, heartwarming narrative, and intricate graphics, Zoc has a little bit of everything. The graphic novel truly flies by as soon as you start reading. The story itself follows a girl who has the ability to collect water in her hair, and laden with a trail of water behind her, she tries to find her purpose in life. It's such as interesting concept that I was hooked. The graphics in the novel were incredibly intricate, especially the landscapes, and it really helped me in immersing myself in the world. The story throws you in the thick of it which some people may not like, but I really enjoyed as it gave a mystery element. I wanted to keep reading to find out more about the character and the interesting world around them. I also really connected with the main character who you can really tell is struggling to figure out her future, a problem everyone including myself can appreciate.
One thing to note about this story is that the font is a bit small, making it difficult at times to read the dialogue. I did read an e-version of this so that may not be a factor for a physical copy. Overall, the story was really cute, and it left me wanting more stories set in this world and more from these characters. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quick pick me up at the end of the day.
