I read the first few volumes of Locke & Key a while back but never finished the series, so I'm starting over now just so I don't forget anything. I do remember that Bode was perhaps the least interesting of the three siblings to me, and he's still not that exciting. What I really enjoy about this issue, though - and about the series in general, from what I recall - is the relationship between the three kids. It's dead-on realistic in the way that they talk to each other and I find it deeply entertaining.
