reickel's review against another edition

Update: my girlfriend became my wife but otherwise this 5-star review needs little change. Love the story and love the art. In the running for my all-time top graphic novel volume.

My snapchat friends got slammed with snaps of great panels. My girlfriend had beautiful splashes set in front of her face; Bá out-does himself with the art here.
Writing was interesting enough, and I could follow what was going on reasonably well (a plus in the wild world of cross-dimensional espionage). Of all the Casanova books, I think Avaritia does the best at exploring Cass and Xeno's character--and hey, they're my two favorites, so giddy-up.

I respect the way the story cycles around on itself and self destructs. I particularly enjoy the parts where dialogue gives way to just descriptions of dialogue. There's so much weariness here. Captures feelings about time and space travel I've rarely seen.
Sasa Lisi is the most boring character in the series, and her role here is apparently to provide enough T&A to offset the number of naked men in this book. And perhaps because it's easier than having Casanova's sister fill that role. Still a sad cop-out on how Casanova's bisexuality is represented, despite it having increasing focus in each volume.

One of the coolest books I barely understand. The art—which I love because it's Gabriel Bá—is what draws me in first, though this time it's a little more frenetic than the first collection. The story, also, is a little more loose than what we've seen heretofore (if you can imagine) but it's still follow-able. Maybe I'm giving this a half-star less ½★ because here I felt longer periods of disconnect from the purpose of things, though I'm already accustomed to that with "Casanova" because it's obvious that sometimes you just have to bear with them while things play themselves out. Otherwise, very enjoyable and strange. Definitely not to be read out of order, mind you.

a bit of genderfluidity induced by extensive time travel?

Who knew this was Volume 3? Is that why I don't understand anything that happened? Pretty art, though

Unlike the first two bursts, this volume had a curious underlining sourness that was once breezy giddiness, at least between the characters and their respective outlooks on dimension-hopping espionage madness. There's resentment in these pages that seemed arguably sudden, and even character motivations switched weird. It read off a bit, though I still enjoyed the weirdness and wildness. For all of the fun manic noise the first two volumes were, they somehow managed to seamlessly flow together. This was a rogue within a rogue, I suppose.

This was another re-read for me. This was easily the strongest of the three Cassanova books in my opinion. Gloriously incomprehensible on an intellectual level, and yet powerfully resonant on an emotional one.

Look, I can't say I fully understand any of Casanova so far, on just one reading, but there's no pop thrill like it. Fully addicted.
