Shades of Magic: The Steel Prince: The Rebel Army (Shades of Magic Graphic Novels, Volumes 9-12) (Shades of Magic: The Steel Prince, #3)

by V.E. Schwab

Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab and torn from the universe of the Shades of Magic sequence, this third volume in the all-original comic book adventure series sees the saga of the the story begun in The Steel Prince - perfect for fans of bloody, swashbuckling adventure and gritty fantasy!

Once just a single ship, now the pirate fleet of the Rebel Army numbers in its thousands. Made up of traitors from each of the three empires, the fleet, who once made the open waters of the Blood Coast their home, have set their sights on establishing their own land based empire with London as their capital.

The Rebel Army is a battalion made up of traitors to each of the three empires, who've claimed the open waters of the Blood Coast as their territory. Led by a Faroan, a Veskan, and an Arnesian (Rowan, the Antari from the Night of Knives), the RA started as a rag-tag gang, a single ship, but in the last few months, they've gained momentum. Once content to claim the open water as their empire, they've grown in ambition, and scope, and now they're claiming ports, creeping toward a full-on land assault. Their goal? London. But first, they'll have to cross Verose, where Maxim, Isra, and the royal guard are waiting.

I have always loved the Shades of Magic world, and Maxim was a character I took high interest in during the main trilogy. The final graphic novel I believe does justice to his legacy, and also adds depth to his character when us as readers meet him in the books. There is a lot to him that we never saw, so I applaud the comics bringing him so beautifully to life.
