Monstress #6 by Marjorie M. Liu
4.0
adventurous dark fast-paced

I think that the most interesting thing about this series for me - well, the second most interesting, after the art - is the constantly shifting web of allegiances that's going on both in the foreground and the background. As a reader, it really makes me wonder who can be trusted and what their ultimate motivation is, which is a type of treacherous narrative that I really enjoy. As a writer, I can only imagine the terrifying notes and drafts and flowcharts and post-its that must make up Liu's creative process... it must have been a massive effort to develop and keep track of!
