I wanted to love this series so bad. Maybe that's why I was a little disappointed. I just felt like everything was very confusing. Maybe I will reread this series again sometime, but for now, I just am not in love with it. :/

The beginning was kind of meh, but once the narration moved to Death and The Beast it was very good. The final few pages were gorgeous.

This one hurt. The beginning was particularity insightful. The leaders’ meeting added a lot of background to what regions get along and why. But there was also some confusion, probably intentionally, regarding the monsters that inhabit Ezra and Bel Solomon. Ezra’s was briefly explained by the President and the Horsemen, but it doesn’t elaborate on how his transformation makes him more useful to The Chosen and their message.
On the other end of this story, we are seeing Death’s son, now name Babylon, escaping his prison and the Horsemen. Babylon wears vision guards like the prophet from the Endless Nation. These vision guards skew his sight from seeing the world authentically. He ends the volume in what looks like a hell-scape when in reality it is a sunflower field. I wonder if someone from the Endless Nation is controlling his vision and learning through Balloon (The Artificial Intelligence system that he is connected to). The Endless Nation seems to be the only region with the technology that Babylon is imprisoned by, so it would make sense for them to manipulate Babylon’s learning to get an outcome that would benefit their nation and their allies (The PRA - His Mother, etc.)

The slow march towards the apocalypses continues. The art is still next level great and it doesn't really seem to matter that this is still a tittle that you bare witness to rather than root for anyone or anything. It's also striking how sparsely populated a world this seems. Every once in a while you see an army massing but the everyday citizens of this world are never shown and their marginalization to this grand story speaks volumes.

So I didn't think I would like this series for a whole mess of reasons, turns out I really do like it.

Liking the series. Still confused, but I think things are starting to pull together enough that I can get it if I read it again. I'll probably pick up vol 4 and marathon reread on the day I actually start it.

A little bit hard to follow at times, but overall, pretty amazing. This series keeps getting better.
