The plot keeps thickening and more players enter the game, some revelations that I suspected became true and other plot twists shocked me. The art, as always is fantastic

I like that we are further introduced to this thing connected to M.

Seeing other types of characters with animalistic appearances was really cool. Especially M's family, for some reason I thought she was the sole member of the Halfwolves and was floored that a characteristics knew was her kin (not spoiling).

All I pray is that Little Fox stays unharmed because she puts so much trust into M. She better not break my favorite characters heart🥺🤬

Game of Thrones meets Lovecraft. Massive world-building and and cast of characters, but dark and surreal. It's a lot. Sometimes I struggle to follow everything, but the story is intriguing, the art is beautiful, and the characters - the characters are are so unique and given such backgrounds that you could take any one of them and put them in their own story.
