I was procrastinating this because every volume has been disturbing so far and I needed a break. But my volumes are due for the library soon so no more time for procrastination.

Now that I am back to reading this, I’m so happy that this was not as bad as the previous volumes but now I know it will get worse from here! Can’t wait to see what new thing is going to give me emotional damage.

New development: This Manga’s artwork—though eerie and beautiful—is giving me headaches. 😅 There is just some points where my eyes couldn’t figure out the background from the characters which is how that happened. But besides that it is still cute! It may take me longer due to this new development of mine, but I will continue.

So warning if you are like me, the artwork can be disorienting.

It matches well with the movie while also taking things from the original script. It is a very interesting dive into a movie I have been long familiar with into a book. My only grip with this is that sometimes it wasn’t very clear on who was speaking what and there wasn’t smooth transitions into what the other crews were experiencing. It cuts like a movie but that doesn’t really do well in a book without something to signify a change. But all in all, I liked it and cannot wait to read another Alien book!

Okay, wow. Just wow! I am floored! This was so gooood! Freaking fantastic! I was so pleasantly surprised that this book had so much Witchcraft in it and Greek Mythology. I need to read book 2 I’m going to be crying for it until it comes out 😭 Highly recommend, I’m so happy that my friend recommended this to me it was amazing.
