LOVE the queer women representation, but it always feels a bit icky when the creators of the series are all men.

I really like the newer characters and what they add to the story. I’m so glad I have the next volume already because it seems like a bunch of things are about to happen!

This was my least favorite volume, and I think it is because it definitely felt like a middle book. Considering the arc is only 3 volumes, there was too much extra space here. But I'm still enjoying it, and had to pick up the next volume immediately.

The dragon and Cecelia conversation was something else I didn't see that coming but it also just makes sense because cutter is diabolically evil oh my god.. although the pacing was a bit different a great volume nevertheless!!
