The Throne in the Sky by James Tynion IV

The Throne in the Sky (Wynd)

by James Tynion IV

Return to Esseriel in the darkest chapter to date of Wynd, perfect for newcomers and longtime fans of Eisner Award-Winning writer James Tynion IV!

The land of Esseriel is a darker and more dangerous place than ever, as tensions between the Human and Faerie realms build to the brink of war. Could Wynd be the only hope for peace? Danger, betrayal, and even some romance confront our heroes at every turn, while elsewhere, the Duke makes murderous plans of his own. Things seem dire, but help from an unexpected figure might just be the lifeline Wynd and Merien need… even though the final battle draws near. The Eisner and GLAAD-nominated Wynd saga continues in this epic new volume from Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (Batman, Something is Killing the Children) and artist Michael Dialynas (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), the GLAAD Award-winning creative team behind The Woods.

Summary:

We've all heard the story before. Those without will always fear magic in a city where magic is possible. In this case, the city has opted to ban magic and hunt all who dare be born with those magical properties. This was the world Wynd was born into. Thankfully, there is also kindness in the world, as evidenced by the woman who found and raised him.

Things are coming to a head. As the vampires, the royal guard, and more dangers begin to close in on Wynd and his friends. Thankfully, a few allies are willing to stand between them and the danger – but will they get there in time?

Review:

Somehow, Wynd keeps finding new ways to up the ante. The stakes have never been higher – and yet I feel like there's still so much more to come. Every volume has added to the complexity of this tale, tugging at heartstrings and hinting at more as we go along.

Wynd Book Three is multifaceted, making it a rich and exciting read. There was a lot of character development in this volume. Some of it was expected, while other characters surprised me (which was nice!). I also feel like we're setting up for multiple confrontations, and I'm not entirely sure how they will play out.

I should probably mention that Wynd Book Three ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, to put it lightly. The wait for volume four is going to be SO painful, but I do not doubt that it will be worth it.

My biggest regret about reading Wynd Book Three right now? There's no volume four for me to dive into. I'm officially caught up, and that means I actually have to wait (gasp!) for the next volume in this amazing series.
