Synopsis

Book club, chess club, maybe a photography or science club? Those are the sorts of groups most high-schools have. Our school's different. We've got a supernatural club. The members are all witches, and they investigate hauntings, werewolf sightings, magical phenomena, and other weird stuff like that.

You probably think that's all make-believe or fantasy? I used to think that too, until one afternoon when I stumbled into one of their secret meetings and accidentally joined Club Luna.

    What's better than a story about a magic university where a student's success is directly linked to their wealth stored in a bank run by antisemitic caricatures?

    How about a story about a magic club with in-canon queer members who don't need financial d*ck measuring and instead spend their time being friends and developing crushes and helping each other with their lives and magic while being adorable and actually relatable! :D

    Status: bonus – a chaos-mas surprise

    By all accounts, a pretty good read! There's a few things I think I should clarify for readers, and a few gripes I have, but overall pretty good!

    (Summary of two important points: The story is episodic, not a conventional novel structure. And one of the stars lost was for incredibly shallow handling of LGBTQ+ issues. Sorry for the long review)

    So this isn't a novel in the conventional sense. It's episodic in a similar way to cartoons or TV shows, with the overarching plot taking a backseat to the individual plots of each chapter. The story's pace changes dramatically between the start and the end (it's very obvious that it started out with different intentions to how it finished), but that's not a bad thing at all, it just is a thing.

    Another reviewer mentioned that the plots can get a bit formulaic, but I don't view that as a downside. Much like how every Phineas and Ferb episode starts with "I know what we're gonna do today", many Club Luna episodes start with a club meeting, and that does give a sense of stability to the story.

    The main character is quite oblivious at the best of times. I do think they've been written well, to include the exact right levels of frustration when every reader goes "come on girl, use your head", but if you're an impatient person, be warned. She also finds herself getting embarrassed a lot throughout the story, although this is balanced by some very funny comic-relief characters in the supporting cast.

    A number of broader societal issues are explored, and analogy is used extensively. Doesn't take long for parallels to show between the supernatural experience and the transgender experience, as well as parallels between magic and knowledge or magic and political power. This does get a tiny bit preachy at some points, but I think it adds to the story more than it subtracts from it.

    Three stars is because I started with five stars, and then took two away:

    • One star lost for general vibes. Something was rubbing me the wrong way for most of the story, and I'm not sure what. This might just be a "me problem", but this is my review, so there ya go.
    • One star lost for handling of LGBTQ+ issues. For a story that gets fairly deep into some other social & mental issues, LGBTQ+ issues are handled in a very shallow manner. Quite often words like "bigot" or "trans-misic" are used as self-contained ways to describe an entire situation, all characters immediately seem to understand, the speaker feels no need to elaborate, and then the story moves on. This doesn't just include the main cast; this includes minor and supporting characters where, even ignoring that it's not guaranteed they would be familiar with this type of language, such terminology is blatantly ineffective for communicating and plain language would work better.

    Alright, so my review of this one of my first reviews on this website, and is mostly based on my personal opinions, and not so good analytical thinking.

    With that out of the way, this story is really good, and I would highly reccomend it. The characters are very well written, and the representation seems good to me. Additionally, I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the time while reading, especially for the first 100ish chapters. However, my biggest praise to the story doesn't even go to this story, it goes to every other story that's tied in to it. The main reason I like this is because we, the readers, can actually get a metric ton of context to whatever might be happening, most notably the

    Spoiler

    plush scenario

    [collapse]
    , which shows how multiple new characters are being affected by what the girls are working towards solving.

    With that said, I did have my own issues with the story. First and foremost, as the story progressed, at the beginning of the story these teenage characters feel like they're regular teenagers, doing paranormal stuff on the side. At some point (though I can't pinpoint where) I felt I more like they were paranormal researchers who just so happened to be teenagers. This might just be because they're getting more dedicated to it. That's really the only complaint I have that isn't a spoiler

     That being said, I want to mention spoilers, so be advised

    Spoiler

    Cass and Cassandra are interesting characters, dont get me wrong, but I cant say im the biggest fan of their status as divinity. I feel like a lot of stuff became meaningless after this, because afterwards alot of things dont feel like they exactly have stakes. There's multiple times where The Council comes after Cass, and those arent really that interesting, because she can just sort of instantly make them a non-threat. I also find the judgement of Cassandra and Cass to be really weird, like, she forgives the two people who literally plotted and organized for her body to be used as an immortal vessel, unbanishable vessel, and doesn't really talk to the third member of the plot, Brian.

    [EDIT] I feel like because Cass is a God, deaths might not have much impact, especially if she has the ability to just, bring people back. Granted, this is under the assumption that the series uses deaths, which it might not.

    [collapse]

    With that said, it's a really good story, and while this review isn't comprehensive, I hope this serves as a way to gauge if you truly want to read this book, if you were as indecisive about this as I was at first.

    [EDIT 2]

    I didnt realize this story ended and wrote my review under the assumption that the series would have more content yet (I'm not counting connected content, that is not content for this story). Firstly, I would like to formally apologize for incorrectly referring to Cass and Cassandra. So without further ado, lets get to it!

    Spoiler

    1. The stakes: Maybe its bc I'm more used to violent stories like Chainsaw Man, where stakes are much more apparently obvious, but I felt like after the absolute banger of an arc that was the evil teacher, the Stakes fell off until the big reveal that any exposure to magic will probably kill Cass. Then we learn her body is demonic and its just specific magics that'll kill her instantly and that felt like kind of weak to get rid of most of her weaknesses. After this, especially with Cassandra being willing to do most of the things that Cass is offput by, I felt there wasn't much in the way of things to worry about because the full scope of Cassandras power is massive. Any threats can be turned into something that's note exactly a major threat, but primarily still living animals.

    2. Redemption: This was consistently a factor that was just kind of eh throughout the story. My big issue is Socha, like I get that she's dying and I guess its your choice if she lives after she decided to kinda just do something unspecified with your soul then take over your body and be literally unstoppable, but you had one conversation and decided on it, but spent a lot of time away from Kaylee for some bigoted thoughts she has as a result of living up under the primary influence of her parents that she only ever acted on at the absolute height of her ever heightening emotions due to the fae spell.

    3. It was just alot of women: This might be a case of clothes at the soup store but I was kind of upset at the massive lack of nonbinary rep in main and side casts. There weren't really any trans men either, but probably just a clothes in the soup store issue.

    Very nice story, though for 5/5 I feel like it would need the little extra.

    I like the characters and their growth, I like the setting. The cast is a nice mix

    If I had to criticize the story, then it is that it seems a bit repetitive at times, but you can mostly read over it. An example:

    Meeting at the house. Ordering Pizza/Wings. Everyone drinks the same stuff as always. Lets play video games. Repeat this like 20 times over the course of the story.
