With this volume, I've officially caught up to where I had read in this series as a kid--my parents only had through this volume, but my oldest daughter has read far beyond this. Excited to read along with her and bond over new stories in this world I already treasure from my own nostalgia.

Wonderful as ever!
Finally we get to know the High Ones history and what exactly was the role of Petalwing.
There are some very moving moments, be ready to be with tears in your eyes.

January 1, 2015Tengo los ocho tomos de esta colección, que iré subiendo y to-readeando a medida que corrobore sus equivalencias con la edición de DC. Hasta entonces, supongo que seguiré leyendo capítulos de a puchitos como hasta ahora.
