1792 ( )

I read the last two volumes (plus everything but the last issue of Volume 5) of this series in a catch-up during last week so it's all in a blur for me. I have so many feelings about all the relationships that take place between these people. The importance of politics, and the staleness of it, when you become too removed from your own wars, if they are being fought a world away from you, only mentioned in your news. The families, both the main one, and the two secondaries. The characters who struggle to remain together and those who end up dying too soon. I am still dying to know where this series takes us, especially with some of the ominous "not for years from now" promise the narrator has already given us. ( )

I wish I could just have all of the volumes to the end of the story.
Right now.
The imagination and artwork of this series continue to be impressive. I didn't love a couple of the plots in this installment, though -the other woman and the drugs- and I'm still not a fan of the more explicit sex scenes.
But I really like Hazel's narration, the different creatures (especially Lying Cat and Friendo) and the humor that's regularly injected into the story. And of course I'm pulling for Marko and Alana. And The Will and company too.
I eagerly await Volume 5. ( )

This was all kinds of disappointing. The only thing I liked were the art style and a couple of the side characters. ( )

I know this one is setting up for more to come in the next books, but I didn't like the plot as much as the first three. I did enough this one though and can't wait to read more about their adventures. ( )
