Wow, this had me gripped from beginning to end. I loved the various Wes African folklore and history given in the interludes to show the inspirations. I'm a bit suspicious about the death of one character. The plot was good, if slightly predictable after a certain point. And the art was amazing. Some fight scenes got confusing but otherwise great. On to volume 2, which seems to be set during more modern times. And definitely interested in this Youniverse as a whole now.

I surprisingly enjoyed this immensely despite not caring too much about the Fantastic Four. Also a few storyline surprises in there for me. Ones I'd like to delve deeper into.

I enjoyed this one more than the first one. This relationship get together was more my speed. There are still plot conveniences to make the story go by quick and short, but less of them in my opinion. Or maybe I'm more used to them now. Definitely entrenched in this world now. Fun and quick paranormal romance.
Slightly better than the last one. But still not clear. I feel some closure now though.
Well I thought that was going to end on a cliffhanger. I appreciate the call backs to the first volume. Now what does this mean though?
It was lovely being back in this world. The short time frame made the novella format fit better than most. But I still would've appreciated more time with everyone. That's a me thing. It's been so long since I read the last book, I started forgetting who was who when all the characters were together. That being said I loved it. I laughed when the lights went out. I cried over all the Roy scenes. That ending. It wasn't explicitly stated but I think we all know what she whispered. I'm low key glad we ended without that. Anyway, it was a joy being back in Alaska with Calla and Jonah.
