Holy shit...

So the prince, we saw what happened last volume. What happened? We get the truth here. Next up we have Death verse his brother/sisters. Or least he's about to when his son is in danger these guys are really pushing him. Mao is ready to march and end this whole damn world in her own way. Everything is actually coming to a big final confrontation with everyone hating each other.

I'm trying to keep this spoiler free but East of West really turned around for me. It was good at the start, great in the middle, and the ending so far is fantastic. So excited to get my hands on the final volume. I hope it ends as strong as it has been. A easy 5 out of 5. Hickman's strongest work so far.
