I really enjoy following the different characters so far and am excited to see when and how they all intersect with one another. The multiple POV really gets into the different facets and perspectives of an ongoing war. So many questions left open beyond just how Hazel and her parents make it out alive.
Also the gradual world-building made this much easier to digest. I’ve never been a big sci-fi or fantasy reader, but I think I’ve been more attracted to those genres if they’re grounded in some way to the real world (magical characters that exist peripheral to our real world, advanced nonexistent technology used in present day or a future Earth). While there are otherworldly creatures and magic in Saga, they’re really just aliens from presumably far off celestial bodies. I can believe that our Earth might exist far away from this galaxy.There’s also a familiarity to the relationships and characters that come through more for me because they’re not competing with the requisite long explanation of how this world works (something that’s necessary in a high fantasy story). I think that makes it easier for me to follow along with and enjoy.
