W.I.TC.H. The heart of friendship is a new manga-style graphic novel, presented as the reboot of the famous original comic series In this modern adaptation, set in the present day, the group of friends Will, Irma, Taranee, Comelia and Hay Lin fight a mysterious threat from another world. The girls will discover that only together can they save the day, because magic is most powerful when shared. 20 years later, here is the new version of the Witches, which remakes a story based on the original comic series, but in the form of the graphic novel. This is a completely new story, a modern adaptation for today's female readers. The protagonists reflect the expectations of young contemporary readers: they are today's girls who live their daily lives in a modern world in step with our times. Daily life, fashion, technology and society are inspired by reality allowing for greater empathy between readers and protagonists. A fantastic "reboot" that will allow young readers to discover and fall in love with this new magical version and will bring the historic fans back to THE HEART OF FRIENDSHIP memory of their magic.

The original comics spawned a franchise with a variety of printed media, including both reprinted and original content, as well as audiovisual media. The first two arcs (The Twelve Portals and Nerissa's Revenge) were loosely adapted into an animated series by Jetix Animation Europe (Now named Disney Europe Animation) for Jetix and Disney Channel.

So I've tried to read Acotar second book and...I gave up (I stopped at Feyre visiting Velaris).

Several people told me this book was better than the first one but, to be honest, it was awful, basic, nothing original and terrible bad written.

I don't know, maybe is because I'm used to other type of fantasy, like C. S. Lewis, Ursula K., Elisabetta Gnone or Laura Gallego, all of them authors that come from Humanities (history, literature, journalism). Also, I'm used to other type of romance literature (classical literature and manga). So I guess my reading baggage makes me be biased with this books, because I'm pretty sure that when you start reading good literature, good stories and fiction, books like Acotar saga end up being...trash.

The characters are not original: Rhys is based on Howl from Howl's moving castle (Ghibli's movie adaptation) but it is also an archetype that you can find in anime, that kind of dark, bad boy that indeed is good? Come on, that's Sasuke from Naruto (even Itachi). A charming prince that is abusive and disgusting (Tamlin)? That is Takumi from Nana (but Takumi is much better as character, better written and developed, so well-written that is one of the most hated character in the manga-anime fandom). An intent of a pure, but fierce female protagonist? Every shojo protagonist is like that (Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi, Usagi from Sailor Moon, Yona from Akatsuki no Yona, etc).

What I mean is, once again, that there is nothing original in this saga, not if you've been reading and watching fiction for years from different times and cultures. And to be honest, there wouldn't be any problem with this saga not being original if at least was well-written and wasn't so mysoginistic, classist and racist. Indeed, the moment Dostoevsky's characters are healthier and less toxic that a bunch of characters created around 2015 and on, there's a problem.

So I cannot get the hype with this, the huge popularity the books have.
