 **FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC**

-Stories with standard connecting narrative
-I want to know more on how the police covers up large scale paranormal incidents. As of now, no further info on this matter. I guess there's a system based on Alexandra's relationship with Capt. Guerrero and their predecessors but it's not enough for me.
-A character with an I.M. initials is very good. The fiction character, not the real one who is very much the opposite of what I said.
-Action sequences are so much better. The choreography is understandable and clean.
-Magic system is very soft, just like a Japanese fluffy pancake. Might have future plot holes if the line between life and death became much blurred in the future. There are already some magic here that raised my eyebrows but I glossed over like the actual ending for Talagbusao because it's still creative, in my opinion.
-Typhoon tribe. I have soooo many questions. Hopefully they will be explored more in future narratives. If not, such a shame since based on the lore the author created, their tribe should be bigger especially with how they got their powers.
 +Nitpick: No table of contents inside. Maybe due to narrative structure, just like the last one, but the stories here are still divided so a TOC is still appreciated. 
 +Neatpick: Adorable new hairstyle of Alexandra. 

-Overall, I still like this one and made me want future stories.

 Despite reading this in my least favorite way (as an e-book), I would have to say this was the most delicious installment in the series. So much happened and so much was at stake. Some scenes were truly terrifying. I can't wait for the next books in the series because I need to know how this story arc plays out!

These comics are absolute genius and this volume particularly made me want to reread the previous ones so I can go back and trace some of the connections I've missed.
