The storytelling is very poor and shoddy. Liu doesn't make this smooth sailing for the reader, always throwing in new factions. It's like [a: Layman|93094|John Layman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1316046488p2/93094.jpg] going overboard with the food powers in Chew, except Liu actually expects you to remember all of this to fully understand her universe. The art is great, the plot twists and character reveals are worth it and provide background, but the delivery is just so complicated. Cramming this volume with battle sequences doesn't help. I'm starting to wonder if Liu is an idea-person who can't quite bring all her ideas together to tell a story competently...

The creators are doing an excellent job exploring both Maika and Kippa’s development as characters. I love it.

Literally the best volume of Monstress I have read. I was not prepare for the emotional damage this comic did on me. Damn.

5 for the art, but I just can't distinguish many of the characters, who's on what side, etc. It's very unclear to me what's going in the big picture.
