Another stunning volume to the Monstress series. Even though I haven't picked up this series in awhile, it felt like I knew what was going on without much effort. This is one of the best series out there. Takeda's art works so well with Liu's voice that it feels like an ethereal dream. This is high fantasy fantastic.
This volume's story isn't my favorite, but we do get growth from the old god and the half wolf. We see people trying come to terms with who they are while also recognizing that war means making difficult choices. Sometimes not making them can cause even more pain.
Overall, Monstress is a series that I think people should read and get into. The art takes the storytelling to a new level and each volume it just shines even more.
