by Kieron Gillen

challenging
dark
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
As Gillian says in his essay at the end of this, this volumes arc is all about tearing down the tower the other two volumes built up, with the world of DIE is playing it's own game and by the end of it you can't tell who is a player and who's being played.
The characters are well fleshed out and we dive into more layers of their psyche, as they try to balance what is right for them and what is right for die.
Hans work is as beautiful and graphic as ever, and I enjoyed the use of historical characters such as H.G Well's and the Brontë sisters.
I did feel it was a bit rushed towards the end, espeically in part 15 but I'm looking forward to seeing what the consequences are in the next issue - but it still delivers on its story telling and plot twists.
