Monstress, Vol. 6: The Vow by Marjorie Liu

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

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
