Wow, I was not expecting that ending! 

I love the art style just like the others so far, the detail is just getting better with each entry! Plot wise, I thought it was really good, only complaint is that a big portion was Thorn running away from Grandma Ben because she thinks that she can't trust her but like, I get that she had to get away for the plot but it still doesn't really sit well with me. She literally says that she remembers there was no nursemaid with them so she couldn't have been the one to betray them, yet in the end she realizes that she trusts Ben. But that doesn't make sense! Like there is still no real reason to truly trust her like that. Like the dreams literally showed Ben as a split personality! 
My theory is that those mean that it was her sister, showing that the two of them were opposites but I don't completely. But if that's true then that last panels shows that Thorn is now also split personality wise just like Ben and her sister. 
Overall, I just can't wait to read the next one, perhaps even then these complaints will turn into compliments!
