Man, y'all are really dedicated to tugging on my heartstrings every time, aren't you?  At least this one ended on a happier note compared to Volume 7.  Once again, I'm entranced by the gorgeous artwork of this series.  First of all, I would like for zebra horses to exist in real life.  Second, Alana, who has always been a badass, practically radiates that energy in every panel.  And lastly, I loved both the idea and illustration of a particular creature towards the end of the volume - it's such a delightful idea, and I hope we get to see more of them in later issues.  Looking forward to Volume 9 - 4 stars.

Interesting and different direction for this volume. The sadness was offset by a lot of deep and touching revelations about life and love, but there were also a handful of characters I just didn't care about (the three cowboys in the desert) and I was happy when they were moved aside to focus on our main cast again. It was sweet and touching to see Hazel actually interact with kids her age as well.
