The plot that was teased in the previous volume goes absolutely full steam ahead here. I liked that there is now some focus to a story as it starts to become more dramatic and a heavy toll starts to weigh on our leads. I think what really makes Deadendia a standout series is the amount of emotion Hamish puts into their interactions. Friendships have become frayed, partners or potential partners are facing some serious miscommunication, things are getting messy and it becomes easy to be a little shortsighted. They act so human and maybe that's what is going to save them in the end.
