The plot keeps thickening and more players enter the game, some revelations that I suspected became true and other plot twists shocked me. The art, as always is fantastic

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🥺🤬

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense

<i> "Little wolf, you have all those things. But they are safe within you, where no one can take them. Sometimes my darling... its better to hide your teeth" ....But hiding was never easy for me </i>

A shorter volume, but the plot is finally becoming clearer! The art continues to be absolutely mesmerizing, and the story does not hold back. The politics and alliances are always shifting, but a thread is beginning to appear. We also learned more about the monster inside of Maika, giving (him/them?) much more depth. 

One of m favorite aspects of the comic is when Maika is talking to another person (her mom, Tuya) while the present story continues to move forward in the panel. What a great way to show us more about Maika. 

Kippa and Ren continue to be the best sidekicks anyone could ask for!

Game of Thrones meets Lovecraft. Massive world-building and and cast of characters, but dark and surreal. It's a lot. Sometimes I struggle to follow everything, but the story is intriguing, the art is beautiful, and the characters - the characters are are so unique and given such backgrounds that you could take any one of them and put them in their own story.
