Monstress, Vol. 3: Haven

Probably a 3.5.

This series continues to be as confusing as ever. The world is too expansive and things are happening in different parts of the world at the same time, but I can't keep track of them. Nobody's intentions are entirely clear and I always feel that there are more questions than answers.

Maika hopes for some respite from all the people trying to kill her but she can't escape her predicament even in the neutral city of Pontus. When more horrors await, it was interesting to see her work together with the monster inside her, Zinn. I never thought I would enjoy their dynamic but I really did.

Cats are still the most mysterious of the characters but I was still shocked when I saw the truth about Master Ren. Kippa is the most precious character in this whole series and just reading about how good and compassionate she is brought tears to my eyes. She is probably the main reason I'm continuing with this but that cliffhanger ending has just made it impossible for me to give up. I LOVE YOU KIPPA ❤️❤️❤️

The art style is amazing and elaborate as usual and I commend the artist's talent of being able to convey so much through the panels. And the different kinds of characters depicted here are some of the best I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what more is in store for us.
