I always loved winx club when i was younger so i figured why not request this book and see what its like. Its a winx club comic, which is really fun. I enjoyed reading this, and the story is obviously great.

However, I do have my concerns. This book involved information from maybe 3 episodes maximum, which is not a lot. The series that i know, has so many episodes that a lot of comics will be required to cover all of those episodes. That should be fine technically, but i dont think many people will buy that many books. I also worry that the creation of them will take so long that it will be out of date by the time the last one comes out. Its already a bit out of date with the types of phones for example.

Now, this does not mean anything for now, i actually really enjoyed it!

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review.

"Welcome to Alfea" was a good read and I felt that it stayed true to the original television series.
I definitely feel that this books is targeted for more advanced readers and not young children, especially since there are no visual aids with it. Despite this, I do believe that fans of the Winx Club television series would enjoy reading this.
