Good Ol’ Fantasy Continues
Cool action right from the beginning featuring various, nasty monsters which just keep getting more interesting as the story progresses. But characters also talk a lot about their past or present problems and we gradually learn—because it’s a sad story—their reasons for this revenge quest.
The art is great—detailed enough, especially the faces, with nice two-page scenes and stylised colours. And the ending feels intriguing.
I really hope this series continues and stays this good for a very long time.
