Of the three I've read, this is easily my favourite volume. The characters are at their strongest here, as well as there being several strong characters added. Also, and this is me being extremely biased, The Brand is really hot and she's introduced in this volume. Not sorry about it.

The plot in this one should be more boring, on the whole. Alana, Marko and Co. are literally just chilling but there's such good character stuff done and we all know that that's my shit. The stuff with the two reporters was also fairly interesting, as well as giving us some good backstory for some characters. As usual, though, The Will's storyline was probably my favourite. I just love this weird found-family thing that was going on and I would fully support a spin-off AU about those dynamics. This volume also mercifully had very little IV, and where he did appear he was directly supporting the plot of Alana, Marko and Co. so I was okay with it.

If any of the following volumes are as good as this one then I'm extremely excited to continue on.
