This is was fine! I liked it more than Monstress, and I’m interested in continuing the trilogy for sure. I wasn’t exactly in the mood for this, yet it still kept me invested, mostly thanks to it being a really quick read once you get through the first act.

The characters strike a balance between cartoonish and rich. The monster plot feels just fresh enough. The art is satisfying.

I’m like sort of meh on this? No big complaints but I don’t feel enthusiastic either.
