A sadistic new villain added to the mix—terrific!

I made a mistake in picking up this series.

I really really really really wish I picked is up after it was 100% complete, because I have been swept up by it and wwill now have to go into "waiting mode" soon.

In terms of the typical story arc, I am not certain where we are at the moment
-Phase 1: Archer's Peak, which introduced you to the world of monsters and those that kill them. Setting expectations.
-Phase 2: backstory for Erica, the person that plucked her from her tragedy and trainer her, and the Order
-Phase 3: our hero likely has found herself with a ward worthy of inducting into the world of monsters (someone even more Erica than Erica)- so it appears we have come full circle. Also, our hero is also now dealing with the consequences of her behaviour in Phase 1 (with a new villian to mete out those consequences), so there is another full-circle here as well.




But it does not feel like we are in endgame mode yet - which means Volume 6 (whose final issue lands in 2 week) is likely not going to be the last.

And so we go back into waiting once more :(
