A review by allisonwonderlandreads
Monstress, Vol. 2: The Blood by Marjorie Liu

adventurous mysterious 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

4.0

I feel like there's not a lot I can say without dropping spoilers left and right, so let's keep it simple:
 
1. This one has PIRATES

2. It's got reveals about Maika's mom (a very mysterious lady)


3. Kippa continues to be the adorable moral compass we all need

4. I'm pretty sure detailed, astoundingly beautiful art is a given at this point

5. The list of people that want to kill Maika just keeps getting longer (mostly not her fault, but also... she could try not to piss everybody off so much)
 
I could wrap myself in a cocoon and just read this series straight through until I'm caught up... but then I'll be sad. So I'll be pacing myself and savoring the experience.
