Well done continuation of this fantasy western graphic novel series. The illustration is beautifully done, as is the dialogue and story. I love the color tones and illustration throughout; it has a very dark and artsy feel to it.

The story is also very creative and has a kind of poetic feel to it at times. This is a western fantasy (tone reminds me a lot of Stephen King's Dark Tower series) and also has a bit of a mythological theme.

The story is very bloody and violent at times, so just a heads up to those who are bothered by that. I really enjoyed the tone and creativity.

My only complaint with this series is that sometimes it's a bit hard to follow what is going on. You jump between quite a few characters and some of the concepts throughout are fairly abstract.

Overall I have been enjoying this graphic novel series. It is creative and poetically written; I also enjoy the mythological feel to the story. I will warn though that sometimes it is hard to follow what's actually going on. I would recommend to those who are interested in western fantasy type graphic novels.
