Monstress, Vol. 3: Haven

Vol. 1: Awakening ★★★★★
Vol. 2: The Blood ★★★★★
Vol. 3: Haven ★★★★★

For some reason, I originally thought Monstress was only ever going to be a 3-volume series, so I went into this one expecting things to wrap up at the end. That's definitely not the case, and I'm so glad, because that cliffhanger ending juuuust about killed me. This was my least favorite volume so far overall, and I can't quite place why — maybe just too much going on, plus a bit of back-tracking on a certain character's development that frustrated me to no end — but even with that being said, it was such an easy 4.5-star read and I didn't hesitate to round up for GR's sake. More than anything, I loved the development of this bizarre relationship/friendship/whatever between Maika and Zinn.
