I like that we are further introduced to this thing connected to M.
Seeing other types of characters with animalistic appearances was really cool. Especially M's family, for some reason I thought she was the sole member of the Halfwolves and was floored that a characteristics knew was her kin (not spoiling).
All I pray is that Little Fox stays unharmed because she puts so much trust into M. She better not break my favorite characters heart🥺🤬

The art of this series is stunning. I love looking at the intricate detailwork on every page. Sometimes the beautiful, dark style doesn't seem to match with humorous things being said or done. I also frequently feel like the main character is built up to be this callous, cold woman with no empathy, but then she shows random empathy moments like not wanting a bunch of ghosts to stay trapped in limbo and it throws me off.
