I wish I could have this art style and color palette in my own works, maybe one day. An entertaining sequel and some rising problems get resolved while there is still a lingering conflict. Good read overall.

These graphic novels were by far the coziest and I can admire the artwork and lore all day. It's cool to see another type of Gelfling folk and hopefully we can see more of these characters and their lives cross again. A very cosy fantasy read in my books.

This was an interesting continuation of the story of the film. The artwork was pretty good but the massive cliff-hanger left it feeling more like an incomplete story.

I don't really know what to say about this one. On one hand I liked the story, especially the whole plot about the firelings, but on the other hand it felt very unimaginative and kind of bland to me - especially the whole part with the cultish status of the crystal, the rude gelflings and the resurrection of the skeksis - it didn't really spark my interest. To be honest I mainly cared about Thurma and Kensho's stories and will probably continue the series only to see where they'll go.
The art was fine and even exceptionally good in places (like the firefasting sequences and the spread with the breaking of the crystal) but most of the time it felt wayyy too smooth and polished to feel like Thra. Maybe it's my recent viewing of The Age of Resistance and it's choice of aesthetic that's colouring my view but I just didn't think 'Thra' when I looked at the environments and art in general when reading this comic.
