Still good, but I think this is my least favorite volume of the series so far. Mostly because Snyder starts to get more wordy and monologue heavy, a common issue in his recent writings that wasn’t present earlier in the series. I also have mixed feelings about Pearl’s story in this volume and her relationship to Skinner Sweet. Her one night stand with Skinner felt a little out of character, especially given her history with Skinner and how the series has emphasized the love and devotion she and Henry have towards one another. The tease with the mysterious “Grey Trader” has me intrigued. Perhaps we’re delving into zombie territory? Interested in what Snyder has planned.
