Marietta decides to leave her small Kentucky town behind to avoid the pitfall of young, unwed pregnancy that befell most of her peers. Despite her best intentions, Marietta (name changed to Taylor) soon finds herself saddled with a three year old girl she names Turtle and the need to settle down somewhere and put down roots. A lovely, lyrical tale of Arizona, family, and friendship. Quite lovely.

Treachery, Volume 3, introduces a character I have never met before in The Dark Tower Series - Cort's niece who wants to be a gunslinger. Too bad this is unheard of for girls, but she's a crackshot anyways. I wish there was more story with her in it, but still nice to see a lady.

I'm not in love with the illustrations in this series. Often time the characters look like there eyes have been cut out...which is creepy and not the point. The excellent story lines are keeping me with it (and my Dark Tower obsession).

Quickly paced with two distinguished and wholly identifiable POVs, Champion brings the Legend Trilogy to a close. Wholly satisfying, with very plausible world building, Lu does a marevlous job keeping the reader on his/her toes while Day and June try to struggle out what side of the struggle between the Republic and the Colonies they will land on. This book was like a breath of fresh air after the stagnant Allegiant.

An eclectic group of teens finds out their parents' philanthropy group is really a cover for super-villainy. Cool story-line, meh art. Why does every character always have their mouth WIDE open?!

I loved finally getting some additional story behind the fall of Gilead, and how Roland and his young Ka-Tet tried to defend it (even though doomed). The addition of Aileen as a girl who wants to be a gunslinger is interesting. I'm intrigued to see how her storyline is developed in these graphic novels. Spoiler alert, she is not in any of the traditional canon, so I don't think a pleasant end is in sight for her.

Satisfying conclusion to Carson's trilogy. Queen Elisa really comes into her own power, and learns some really excellent woman-empowering lessons along the way. I truly enjoyed seeing her as the hero, rescuing her man (a la Princess Leia) and learning that it is her brain that is the true source of her power and strength, not some mystical stone in her stomach. AND FINALLY, there was a map. If you are doing fantasy and your characters are roaming all over kingdom come, you need a map.

My gripe with this series remains I am still wanting some back story to the godstone, the power it draws upon, and the mythology of this deity that is constantly referred to. However, still a ton of fun.
