Reviews

[Stephen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the third volume, and I will be the first to say...rarely is the third of a series better than the previous two. But I was told before I read it, that my 9-year-old daughter felt this was the best one...and she was right! This story is about the Golem of the team, and it reads much quicker and smoother than the other ones...not that they were bad, but this one has a flow I felt which was better than the other previous volumes. I also like the epilogue which lets you know there is more coming. I think the story is good but the deeper meaning also strong. Definitely a page turner by the creative team of Gene Luan Yang, Kendell Goode and Alison Acton.
