Defalt

So this volume pick up right after the ending of the previous one and for me it was a little hard to remember what happened at first.

There's a lot of time—too much for my liking—spent on backstories of the main characters. And I didn't really care about their past. maybe because it was too detailed or because I read the first volume a year ago. Also I always don't like when the villain spends most of the time just talking about their plan or issues or ways of vengeance. It's just boring.

The art is still good. So read it if you're a big fan of the first volume, I guess.

Ascender continues the story of Descender, but this time it's in a fantasy setting instead of sci-fi.

And this change may sound very sudden, but it was created by the same team, so for me it felt just as mind-bogglingly beautiful as the prequel. Locations, character designs, details—really nice.

Also the plot picks up after 10 years and even has some of the old characters—which obviously has changed a lot—and overall a similar atmosphere. The new characters are also quite interesting, but there aren't a lot of them. Considering it's just the first volume, the story still has a pretty good pacing, while making all the necessary introductions, and even a sense of mystery.

So if you like Descender, then definitely read this one.

The last part of Luke, Leia and Han vs Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Overall it's a nice conclusion to the trilogy with some pretty interesting mysteries and dangers. Some story events are quite sudden and satisfying, while some of them happen "just cause" or can be easily predicted and don't lead anywhere. The Jedi action is still cool and—sometimes—impactful. However space battles are hard to understand.

And although there are the same characters here as in original Star Wars trilogy, in this book they feel too stable and not evolving at all—especially considering it's the third book. Luke is somehow still very naive and likes to surrender, but he should be a cool Jedi master. Han and Leia are too same. Also some character decisions, lines and reactions feel just too strange and unimaginable.

So if you've read the first two books, you'll most probably read this one as well.

I'm sad that it's only volume 9 and this is what we got. The action and art are still good, but the jokes get repetitive.

The main story is forgotten until the last issue and almost nothing important happens anyway. And it's kinda underwhelming overall because it looks like the characters don't a have plan, so it doesn't feel like a dangerous situation. The Poyo part is quite cool and even has its own spin-off issue here.

So I think it's the last volume for me. If you're a very big fan, you'll probably still like it.
