Sorry that last panel was gold. Leave it up to Granny💅🏽👵🏽 to save the day to save the day. I kept thinking to myself about my dislike for Mac. I understand that Mac is grieving some thing that hasn’t happened yet. But it seems like Matt had this personality trait before they knew about their situation. So I’m finding it hard to show empathy for someone who has no filter and say offensive thing after offense of thing. 

I won’t lie, it’s interesting when I’m reading a book about two people or two groups of people on their search for truth. Whie me as the observer I understand that truth is subjective to the person. While the characters are really caught in their version of what the truth is. And that pretty much embodies this comic issue. 

You have a catch yourself just ruminating on a character that you don’t like? Although the story is interesting because a new character has been added. That character is a little bit like a God like type person. And there’s another group of people who is treating him as such. The girls are in a new time zone and one of the girls is realizing that her life did not go in the trajectory that she assumed that it would be. However going back to my first question, I still don’t like Mac.

The think about time traveling is that you know it doesn’t matter what happens you’re always confused on how time works and if a loop is consistently happen. And I feel like this is what is happening in this book.

I wish that the main character wasn’t so underestimated. It is clear that her upbringing has giving her a set of tools to understand how dangerous these monsters are. And it’s upsetting that these adults won’t see the danger that’s happening right in front of them. But it’s also very parallel with today’s world and how often time we don’t believe children when they say that monsters exist. For them causing children to think that their voice or their voices doesn’t matter. Often times ignoring the times when they say that someone has hurt them. This volume is a constant reminder that we need to listen to children, we need to protect them, and we should never put them in positions where they are scared and don’t know who to trust.

Sometimes I really wish that can spill the tea about this manga series. But to be honest I don’t know if I can because they were just so much things that happened, so many revelations occurred. That I know if I speak about any of it that it would be a spoiler. And I’ve never had this issue before where I have an inability to review a manga series because I know that if I say anything I am going to snitch. But this one was top-tier. Each volume gets better and better and better. I don’t know how the author does it, I have no idea. However, I I love it here.

Please buckle up for this review. I do not understand what is going on with Sookie and these men. Most importantly, their weird ownership and double standards are becoming increasingly annoying for her. I am starting to believe there is no possible way for this author to write any book or a book in the series without making a racist comment, recently charged, or something entirely out of pocket. I felt like every side character mentioned in this series had a different ethnicity or race, and there was a stereotype that went along with that. I don’t understand why; when Sookie needed a taxi, she couldn’t just get in the taxi. But no, the author had to make the taxi driver have a specific identity and then make a comment about the taxi driver that was racist. So I’m wondering if, at the time this book was written, this author thought that if they sprinkled in a bit of diversity, it would make the book okay. Or did the sprinkle of variety happen because they wanted the reader to see themselves in the text? However, I find it hard for any BIPOC person to find this text relatable. I remember thinking to myself, lady, just right of a white people and stay in your lane.

I also thought that I was gonna like Quyen. But, his comments about Sookie and Eric did it makes sense to me because he has skeletons in his closet that he still has not shared with Sookie. So at this point, are we living in double standard heaven? It’s like all the men in this book can do Sookie dirty but then get upset with her when she chooses her or something happens to her that’s out of her control.

You have to do a job to do to save people. These teenagers were right, if you don’t help this woman you don’t know what you could have been doing to future generations. It’s just unfortunate other people got hurt along the way. It’s also sad that that one was left behind. I think maybe she was one of the girls in the future. Or descendent of one of the girls. I’m also wondering what’s the Symmetry  between Apple and the world is falling or coming to an end.

I will be honest. This issue is really hard for me to get behind period mainly because I didn’t like the way in which indigenous folks were represented period and I also didn’t like that there were men who go was to rape women. I am still left wondering if Mac Carter will become better. Bcause she is very unpleasant to read. The time jumps and this comic continues to be the star part about it. I do understand that a lot of people may not like this book or these comics because of the time jumps. I,however am a fan of that.

As always Stephen Graham Jones continues to write in and out of time. Using literary fiction to continues to write in and out of time. Using literary fiction, Horror, and the real truth of the world to share his stories.

Below is a link of an in-depth review of myself and another Booktuber are talking about this book.
