Jim Henson's Beneath the Dark Crystal Vol. 2 by Adam Smith
3.0
This was much better than the first volume. I was surprised by the depth of questioning about the purpose of suffering. I agreed with aspects of the lesson that suffering is a terrible thing but can forge a brighter light in people than would have been possible otherwise. But then the character who speaks this ends up being (maybe?) not a good person. We'll see where this goes.
It was also interesting to see the dialogue Kensho has with the Skeksis and Mystic—though I thought they had rejoined into the UrSkeks at least once already, so I'm not sure why inside the Crystal they're still separate personalities. But the scene was very good.
Still not the greatest story, but at least there is more to ponder in this volume. Curious to see how it concludes in the next volume!
