Super Mutant Magic Academy

Yet another book I didn’t read at first. This one can only be described as weird. The book focuses around a diverse cast of students brought together at the Super Mutant Magic Academy. The name perfectly describes everyone in attendance. Don’t ask why. This books is definitely a coming of age novel, as if focuses around the main character (kinda) Marsha developing.
A few critiques of the book I have are the art style and the pages themselves. Both have no consistency, and spirally seem to jump from place to place. This does help the book slightly, by giving the story a scene of confusion, similar to real high-school. The characters are mostly fleshed out, and the book provides great commentary on art, gender, and difference. There is quite a bit of language through out, so be warned.
TLDR: 7/10
Should you walk to the bookstore and demand a copy: Yes, but mind the hard language.
