The Woods Vol. 9: The Way Home by James Tynion IV

3.0

I really don't know how to feel about this series. It's an interesting premise, and the characters are fine, but a lot left me wanting. For one thing, the BIPOC characters really just existed to forward their white counterparts, give them the strength they needed to keep going, etc etc. I wanted way more from Ben's character than just him being stuck in the same mindset over Isaac the entire time.

The world building could have been a lot stronger, as well. There's a lot that's just not explored that would have created a richer world.

Probably a two-star series for me, if I'm being honest. I wouldn't have finished had I not been able to read them all in the span of 24 hours.
