It was good! Can't wait for when the next collected edition comes in in 2-3 years.

I'm still so fascinated by this fantasy world. Wow.
I will say though... Maybe I'm just not used to comics as a medium for storytelling? I have been very lost for about 50% of this story. It's hard for me to tell characters apart and remember their backstories and political connections. The reveals confuse me more often than not. I even go back to previous issues to try and understand, but it doesn't really help.
But the setting is so interesting to me, and the illustrations are so beautiful, and the plot is so fast paced and exciting. So I keep reading and just assume I'll be confused the whole time XD
Still highly recommend this one.

The artistry & expansiveness of the world and characters is incredible. This book is quite a bit darker / more horror-y and grotesque than I usually enjoy, but it is well worth it. Definitely one of my favorite graphic fantasy epics.
