Reviews

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series has truly entranced me. This volume in particular though was even crueler than before because of medieval tortures and women's body parts being all over one panel. I as an adult don't mind it unless it is everywhere but for younger readers I would be wary. This volume also gave a lot of context to the time and certain important figures in life as well as show us the ending of how the main characters came to where they are at this point. I wish there was more of that but I did appreciate the background information especially to help figure out how the other characters got to liverpool. Because of these points again I have to give this volume a 4 out of 5 stars definitely more history in this volume than previous so keep that in mind.
