Undeath and Taxes

Well this is what happens when I go scrolling around in Audible. sigh I'm not mad at all. I'm loving this series, but there goes my “reading plan” and my credits and we're barely in January! And yet ... I wholeheartedly recommend this series.

This second installment surprised me. In a good way. While it continues in the same vein of “individual” comic adventures, somewhere along the line it goes deeper. The characters grow in emotional depth, and concepts like “chosen family”, love, or what it even means to be alive are broached artfully and without preachiness. I don't want to spoil anything but I'll just say that Albert and Gideon are characters in completely opposite ends of the spectrum but just as compelling. Quite a feat.

Let's hear it for the B-Team, accountants, beta heroes, unbreakable bonds of friendship, and finding your tribe.

I'm forging ahead, broke, but happy.
