So, I am trying to be better about finishing series that I've started. This one I'd read up to #7 of 9 but the last one didn't quite do it for me. WELL, this one, #8, didn't quite do it for me either. It starts out with a few jumps in time from 400-something AD to France during a plague over 1000 years later...then Italy...then someplace with a lighthouse (see me losing interest there...) , then back to the "current day" of 2013 & 2014.
Only one more volume to go until I can mark this series as done.

Solid!! Read all but the “written-out story” portion in one day. More depth into Ananke after Mothering Invention, which was great to see.

This felt like a collection of short stories with all the prequels and short scenes, definitely not my fave.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A few really standout issues in terms of innovation. The structure of the storytelling continues to make the plot feel a little bewildering but I think that’s part of the fun. Really intrigued to see how it all wraps up.

It was nice to finally get to read these single issue specials that had been released throughout the run of WicDiv, and I do feel like I learned a lot from these--and there are quite a few where I'd be happy to spend more time in. But it is also a bittersweet feeling to finish this volume. I know that there is only one volume left, and I'm going to be sad to have this fascinating tale come to a close. Still, I'm glad I read this, and it may have inspired me to do a re-read of the whole series right before the final volume is released. We'll see.
