I love this series so much. The story is great and the artwork is beautiful. World building is dope and the lore is interesting. I love that the majority of the characters are female and we get an array of different personalities and emotions. I can't wait for the next installment.

I feel a bit more grounded in this world, but I know there's still a lot that goes right over my head. I'm in love with the artstyle though and I'm very curious to see what else we get to know about this god/demon creature. Also, with that cliffhanger, I NEED to continue with the next one NOW!

I knew something was going to happen to Kippa!

The whole story is so interesting though. I'm too invested in the mysteries of this world. I like seeing more of the monster actually and learning more of his past in this volume.

I see there is more to Kippa than meets the eye which with how everything else is going is to expected.

I need to get the next volume stat!

Pēc pirmajām daļām šī liekas ka neiederas. Laikam jāpārlasa pirmās.

I feel like I am handing out five stars like candy lately 🤭, but AHHHHHHHHHH WTF!!!!!!! I enjoyed the first two volumes so much, but I've got to say... After this one, I am LOCKED IN! As with any high fantasy works, it can been overwhelming being thrown into a world you don't understand, but the first two volumes leave enough to build from to continue on. There's still a lot of stuff I have no clue about, but I'm definitely feeling more grounded in the world this volume and am beginning to understand the gravity of some of the shit popping off. I am hooked and I need more volumes to come out (dear god I hope this is ongoing) because I'm about to tear through the remaining 5 volumes currently out. ALSO I COULD SUE FOR THAT CLIFFHANGER 😭😭😭😭
