I like the characters in this one a lot. The volume makes up for its lack of No by introducing some new characters, the children of the title and their professor. I did feel like the volume was a bit slim and didn't advance the story enough to be truly satisfying, but I enjoyed it regardless, and I'm looking forward to continuing with the series.

Add a Fagin-type with kids to your original characters. No is injured, Jack the cannibal has joined the team. We learn that Billy was No's lover, which was a pleasant surprise. And we get some background on the crazy preacher, although I thought he died, so what's the point now? I enjoyed the Professor and his scraggly band of kids. And, typical of me, I rather like Jack the incorrigible cannibal. But the narration does feel like a bit of a Saga rip-off.
