This volume picks up after a little time skip, and I really like that choice as the progression felt natural. It was very fun to see Hazel a little bit older, speaking and walking around as a toddler now and interacting with the world around her more. I also loved how the conflicts started with general married spouse arguments, tension rising, until the stakes suddenly spiked again by the end of the volume with a big cliffhanger ending. We are essentially following 3 different groups of characters and their storylines, but seeing how they are tied together and how they inevitably clash is the thrilling and juicy part. I have come to love almost all of the diverse cast of characters and am just speeding through these comics because I can't wait for more.

my least favourite of the volumes so far but still fucking excellent. This just felt like an 'in between' sort of book wherein we're just seeing where the characters are after a time jump but not much really happens otherwise. scratch that, a lot happens but it just felt like it was just laying foundation for the things yet to come. basically, on it's own doesn't hold as much value but still excellent overall.

I gave this a lower rating just because the couple isn’t getting along and I didn’t like some of the action of the characters. Other than that it’s still enjoyable and I like the ending.
