The Talk Stories destroyed me, let's be honest. And honestly Tuya makes me so angry I can't concentrate on anything else, the most annoying character. Loved the Wolf Queen and the mask armor? Amazing art

i appreciated the breathing room in the first portion of the vol, as we got to know the characters backgrounds more and reminders of key players on the political side of the game. that being said it did drag a little for my tastes, but latter parts more than made up for it. tuya my darling….. get it together

This series focuses on the long-held hatred between Arcanics, demons, and humans. It's centered around a brewing war between the two courts and the humans. And it's all because of one woman who has the power of an Old God living inside her.

This series is absolutely amazing. Captivating. The characters are diverse and well-thought-out. I loved Maika's character development and the fight scenes were immaculate.

I was unaware this was an on-going series when I first picked it up, but now I can't wait to see what happens next.

Look I couldn’t tell you a single thing about this plot or story. It just goes over my head, but that being said I really like the characters.
