I don’t think I need to refute Daniel’s review, but I find myself much further away from Daniel’s position than I expected after I read the book. Jo and Orla grow close as they discover the truth of what is happening in Haresden.ĭaniel found the book to be neither good nor bad – just a tired and threadbare sort of story for a specific sort of audience. Now she is drawn back to fix the problems that started with her grandmother. When she was younger, Orla escaped from Mamo’s tutelage and into the wider world.

There, she meets Jo Manalo, a curious and determined young woman who needs Orla’s help to fix various magical mishaps in Haresden since Mamo passed away. In the series, hedge witch Orla O’Reilly returns home to the coastal town of Haresden after the death of her grandmother, Mamo. The series ran in serialized form in 2021 and was collected in April 2022.

In 2022, my dear friend, and the publisher of SOLRAD, wrote a micro-review about Sas Milledge’s MAMO, a five-issue miniseries published by BOOM! Comics under their BOOM! Box imprint.
