Captain Rook coming through! I honestly thought she's this soft and mild-mannered character but wow, she got stabby in this one fast, hee. It's interesting to see Rook and Queen Owlyn's path diverge a little bit in this with Rook meeting Bendix and Olwyn meeting Moro. However, it's still all quite slow-paced story and I was definitely hoping for more story than we get in this issue.

Ugh, I just love the art in this! Whoever thought to give the tigress a mix of blue and green colors did amazingly and I just can't get enough of the color palette. The setting is more woodsy and takes place in ruins this time around, but it's still majestic and awe-inspiring.

 A bit slow as a continuation of the first, I'm holding out for more tiger lore.

The art is so good it makes me wish the storytelling were better. The big plot point that happens here doesn’t have as much impact as it would if it happened 10 issues in. Fletcher keeps introducing too many characters and doing too much world building in each issue. We can’t get a grasp on anything to keep us interested. This is def my last issue. Big disappointment.
