Sadly, I didn't like this one as much as I did the first two. It's still a great graphic novel that I recommend, though!

I think my dissatisfaction with this one stemmed from a couple of things:

1. We get some insta love with our side characters, whom I actually ship but felt really unsatisfied with how that came out and was revealed. I mean, they were definitely attracted to each other and I was yearning for them to admit that and start a relationship, but for Gwendolyn to suddenly declare to Marko and Alana that The Will was the man she loved? After her obsession with catching her cheating ex? That felt... rushed. And then she just leaves him in the hospital.

2. Some senseless death. I get it. I get that it's necessary because this series is about a world without much sense, a world where pointless things happen and hate and death and war reigns. And still, I felt like that character deserved better. I felt like our heroes deserved to catch a break. I feel like it could've been avoided, and I hate that it was done by a character I love. And because I'm selfish like that, it bothered me lol

I was a bit confused by the ending, too, but I guess I'll learn about that in the next volumes.
