Taproot

"I'm a sucker for cheesy romance novels, and you two are terrible."On that me and the grim reaper agree lol.

I really liked the idea of modern necromancy being phone based lmao the grim reaper just causally texting is funny to me

A nice graphic novel, no me encantó, pero lo disfruté. La historia en si, es muy bonita

Always a favorite reread 🍂💛 A lovely little ghost story that involves gardening. I look forward to rereading it next spooky season.

THIS IS SO FREAKING CUTE OMG "There's nothing evil about death." The writing is incredible and the art is 10/10. I feared for my emotinal well-being, and it opened a lot of 'Under the Whipering Door' shaped wounds. In the end, this could've been a really dark story and somehow Kezzy managed to make it light and wholesome, even with talks about young death. Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for this copy, it was the perfect read to star the weekend in high spirits.

very fun and cute

thank you to oni press and netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review. i kept hearing about taproot shortly after watching heartstopper, and was pitched as another graphic novel with similar vibes. so when i saw that netgalley had it on their read now section (re-release?), i jumped on it. and i'm so glad that i did! this was a sweet and short graphic novel about a necromancer boy, his garden, and his ghost boyfriend. while it was a bit rushed at some points, overall it held a beautiful little story. and not only that, but the art was stunning as well. oh, and the reaper was iconic and hilarious. overall, this was a beautiful little treat and i definitely recommend it if you want a wholesome, queer pick-me-up.

Cozy romance about a necromancer gardener !? Queer Romance !? Cute drawings !? Lots of green !? What more could you want. Genuinely this is one of the cutest Graphic novels I have seen in a long time. Its like paranormal heartstopper. The art is amazing and matches the vibe of the story perfectly. A cute light hearted story about love and loss and emotions

** spoiler alert ** Thank you to NetGalley, Oni Press, and Keezy Young for giving me a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book is absolutely adorable, and the illustrations are gorgeous. It really felt like I was reading something out of Studio Ghibli with the style and the light green color theme. The first half felt a little rushed and I would have enjoyed a little more time to develop the characters and their relationship, but I still feel really connected to the characters. When Blue kisses Hamal and says “I’m so in love with you,” I squealed and then almost started tear up as he began to disappear. I am glad I continued to read (and not immediately throw my phone and stop reading while I cried) because the beautiful imagery of the tree, and then Blue walking up made me very happy. ALSO, I really love the way this novel approaches death and the idea of supernatural beings around deaths (ghosts, reapers etc). I sometimes find humor in YA/NA books to be embarrassing, but this novel nicely incorporated the comedy in the boys’ interactions with the Reaper and other ghosts. Overall, really enjoyed this book and will definitely pick up again when I’m in the need of a pick-me-up book. 5⭐️

4.5⭐

I have been wanting to read this one for awhile now. I thought it was a quick read with a cute and interesting story. I would like to see more on where the characters go from here.

4/5 BECAUSE SOME PLOT STUFF BUT IT WAS SO CUTE

Cute and easy. The story felt a little disjointed but over all was fun

Loved the art style but the plot just seemed to keep jumping around for me.

The cutest thing ever
