Hello Readers, Bloggers, and Awesome people! 


πŸŽƒπŸ‘»Happy Halloween!!πŸŽƒπŸ‘»

I hope that everyone had a fun-filled October. I had a lot going on that is for sure - I am not sure how I got any reading done.
I taught myself how to loom knit hats πŸŽ…πŸ», I was in VA for the first few days of the month for a wedding πŸ‘°πŸΌ, my cat 🐱was sick and had surgery (he is feeling better now), my friend hosted a Mystery/ Clue Dinner 🍴Party, my mom came to visit and obviously ... πŸŽƒHalloween parties πŸ‘»

              Mini Review: 
              OOOOH another cliff-hanger ending... it kills me, cannot wait to keep reading. Maika and her companions are joined and much of this installment is about their short travel and the conversation that they have regarding the hierarchy of the class system and races in this world. Maika is still dealing with the monster but not really in this issue too much - so while the Goodreads synopsis is right for the overall theme it really doesn't do this issue justice.

              Again more amazing art in this issue. LOVING IT!

              Goodreads Synopsis: 
              Maika's world becomes even more dangerous.

              Catch up on the previous reviews for this series:

              Review: 
              I love the 1 line synopsis from Goodreads, but it pretty much sums it all up. Maika is learning more and more about the monster inside of her and the people looking for answers to the devastation are getting closer and closer to finding out what happened. 

              Maika and her travel companions are still on the move after an encounter with a search party. This issue is terrifying yet beautiful as the others have been and I am growing to enjoy the series more as personalities are starting to shape more. 

              This particular issues cliff-hanger ending made me so happy that I have the next installments already. It was a gorgeous issue with a story line that really gets your heart going.

              Very much enjoying these comics and this series.
