The mysteries get deeper/complexer and sets up a question of who actually is the villain. Good storytelling and the art is excellent again. Looking forward to getting my hands on the final part.
Felt a strong drop compared to the first volume, perhaps due to the time gap between my reading of them. The fascinating worldbuilding, including multiple perspectives from the powers of this fantasy world, was subdued here for a more Maika-centric, personal tale. Whilst I appreciated the character building of Halfwolf, the Monster, fox, cat and motley pirate crew, I felt detached from the stakes of the world as it suddenly became a personal quest for matriarchal details. When the plot wasn't confusing, the art held up well and there was a lot of blue as the cast journeyed to the isle of the dead god. Will definitely finish up the series, hopefully closing the gap between volumes.
