"My alignment is chaotic fuck-up" perfectly encapsulated this issue.
To a freaking tee.
And I loved it.

Well that was really good until the end...that was unsatisfying.
Persephone and The Morrigan are still on my shit list. Amaterasu has made it to the list too.
Is it Gillen's goal to make all the gods completely unlikeable? If so, I'm getting there.

Love that people are calling Persephone out on all her shit. Sakhmet is/has been/went completely crazy, and in ready to wash my hands of her.
Fucking Ananke. I thought it before on the first read, and I stand by that thought.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
What a freaking page turner! Sakhmet is way off the reservation...and at least 1 god has met their demise.
One more time...

I obviously can't give any plot details, so this review will be vague as fuck.
The gods are continuing on their chosen paths and more shit goes down. Some of it happens so fast that if you blink, you'll miss it, and I didn't care for that at all.
Other than this issue staying in the fast lane doing 200 MPH, I loved the art and colors (nothing new there). This team knows how to bring every element of the story to life, and I'll always appreciate that so much.
It was beautiful, and if you're not reading this series, what are you doing with your life?

Again, I can't say anything because spoilers. But...OMG OMG OMFUCKINGG!!!!
The art and colors and blah blah blah that was all brilliant, but the story, holy beejeeus the story. It was everything. It made me feel so many things, and I loved every page, every panel, every line.
So good!!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd recommend the series on YouTube. It was fun, and I'm glad I was able to support jacksfilms, but his humor didn't shine nearly as much as it normally does.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed this and think the interactive portion of the book is super clever, but there was just something missing.

THE SURRENDER TREE is a book that's completely outside of my normal wheel house. It's historical fiction, written in verse form, about wars I knew absolutely nothing about. But it was so powerful.
Each page (for the most part) follows one of the following characters:
- Rosa: a freed slave healer
- Jose: Rosa's husband, healer, and rebel
- Lieutenant Death: a slavehunter
- Silvia: an orphan and healer-in-training
And it follows the characters through the Ten Years' War, Little War, and War of Independence for Cuba. It's heartbreaking to see what Rosa, Jose, and the rebels go through for freedom and my soul broke repeatedly while following them on their journeys. What these rebels had to go through for their freedom will stay with me forever.
Every line of every poem had impact. My book is flagged with lines that hit me so hard that I had to stop for a moment and make sure that their meaning wasn't lost on me for reading too fast or being too engrossed in the story.
I'm going to read more about these wars and the history, and I am planning on re-reading this book once I'm more familiar with it all. I think it'll hit me even harder than it already has.

From 5 stars to 4. I still really enjoyed this but it's slightly less awesome than I remembered.

Holy shit with the ending! Why would you do this to me Joe? Why?
Wow. Just wow. If you haven't read my review of Volume 1 where I say to pick up this series and read it. Well, I'm saying it again. Read this series.
When I first opened Keys to the Kingdom, I wasn't a huge fan of the childlike artwork at first, but it grew on me, and it ended up working really well with the art I'm used to with this series.
The story itself though, yeah, that just keeps getting better. The plot just freaking thickens with Keys to the Kingdom, and I was holding on for dear life as this world that Joe Hill has created continued to come to life on the pages in front of me. Props to Gabriel Rodriguez for being able to create this world visually so well. It was just another outstanding, amazing, volume to this.
I can't believe there's only two left to go. I'm nearing the end, and I'm frightened at what there will be when I come to the end. At this point, I just have no idea if the Lockes are going to win.
