4.0

This was much better than the first meandering book. There was a solid plot, a good amount of adventure and threat and blimey this got dark and grim. Let's just say that if you're the sort who gets attached to characters, be warned. The character of Twig was better developed as he got the chance to make some good and bad decisions, rather than just react to stuff. The story was slightly unnerving in that it hit the usual beats, but in a different way. Not so much subverting expectation, but very much doing its own thing. It was refreshing, but noticeably against what I'm used to, which is a good thing.
The artwork nicely complimented the story and featured some suitably grim scenes.
