Solid read! I enjoyed it, but it didn’t grip me as much as TLOK’s continuation did and probably because I’m not the middle grade audience. The main themes here though were still very relevant even today, and I enjoyed seeing how things played out. Will continue to the next installments!

I was late to the show, so of course I'm late to the comics. Love seeing the continuation of the story. The team that worked on this book captured the characters and the world so well, I could hear the voices from the show as I read.
