adventurous dark funny inspiring mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

Maybe my favorite of the volumes so far? If only for the Hotel Oblivion as a setting and the Murder Magician’s subplot; that was exactly my cup of tea. But I wish there was so much more!!! Wisconsin mentioned I’m excited to learn more about Jennifer next volume.

While by far the best book of the TUA series, with more cohesive writing and a more captivating and clear story and art that continues to shine, this comic still has its flaws. Again, I feel it fails to tackle some of its themes and topics with the grace necessary, and it is still confusing at times. Better than the other two volumes but still not the best comic ever written.

A more fun and cohesive read than the first two. The art is the best it has been in all three books, and the writing has become slightly better. There is still, however, the failed attempts at tackling themes and topics.
