Ha llegado un punto en este cómic en el que el arte me fascina más que la historia o los personajes, lo cual es bastante problemático.

Buddy read with Nana!
Wow, the Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet parallels just keep getting stronger. Except Amulet is good and idek what this was.
It was pretty. I'll give it that. The aesthetic is on point. I had no clue what was happening most of the time, but it sure was pretty. I could barely keep track of the characters, and almost everything that happened was pure self-indulgence. It really took me out of the narrative when certain large sea monsters were spouting certain words that sounded like something straight out of a drunk draft of [b:Nevernight|26114463|Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle, #1)|Jay Kristoff|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1500688832i/26114463._SY75_.jpg|42805826] by Jay Kristoff.
Also, Corvin gives me ACOTAR x TOG vibes and I'd really rather not rn. The weird Freudian crap going on with Tuya is also very weird and very uncomfortable. Overall, this was just a mess and the next one better be good, because the last one was great.
But, I must admit, it was very pretty.

first of all: i love that most characters are women. almost anyone you meet is a woman. empresses, queens, generals, inquisitrixes, captains et cetera! if there is a male presence he usually sports... an animal likeness. which i find... somewhat amusing
i loved this one especially because:
• we finally get to understand a little of what she carries inside herself and more about the infamous shaman empress
• the art
• corvin is back. not that i trust him, but i like him and always wonder what he‘s up to
• the art
• news about tuya! very interesting, as well as finding out more about mariko „blade of the dawn“ halfwolf
• the art
• also: more monstrum mythology! i love how this universe is set up, and ubasti is just the queen of everything and mother of all cats. we stan
• i might not have memtioned the art

Every time I pick up a new volume of Monstress, I am blown away by how amazing and intricate the art and storytelling is.
The only reason these books don't get 5 stars is that there's always quite a lot going on and we follow a lot of characters so I tend to get a bit confused but that also could be because its been 6 months since I read Volume 2.
