The overall plot of this series I think is pretty good, but I don't think it was paced very well and I wish Lemire had fleshed out the characters more and their relationships to each other. Would have made this volume much more impactful and made me more excited about Descender's upcoming sequel series: Ascender. Still love the art, but it didn't make up for the story. Really disappointed by this series. I don't see myself coming back for the sequel.
