If I were to sum up this entire series in one sentence, it would be "These poor kids can't catch a break, can they?"

This particular volume was non-stop action and I ADORED it for that. As much as I love the exposition scenes, I love the plotting, scheming, and mind games when combined with action. On top of that, the characters' expression are always so spot-on when conveying fear, dread, anger, and determination. I know I've done a grave injustice by not gushing over the expressions as much as I should, but I do love them and think that they fit the setting and the context in every scene so well.

One final note is I think it's interesting that Emma specifically was captured by the poachers. I say this because I can promise you if Ray was captured instead, the ensuing character interactions would be MUCH different. And I'll leave it at that.

I want to continue on, since I love this arc so much, but it's late and I need my sleep. Oh well, guess I'll just have to binge the rest tomorrow.

Aquí estoy otra vez por aquí recomendando por décima vez The promised neverland.
De verdad que tenéis que empezar éste cómic ya de ya!
En este tomo vemos como Emma llega a Goldy Point y no es para nada como ella se esperaba, en vez de encontrar una guarida o tierra segura encuentra todo lo contrario, es un lugar donde los humanos no están nada seguros, pero una de las cosas buenas es que no es la única que sabe la verdad y que puede trazar un plan para escapar de ese infierno.
