This volume delves more into the world construct, about how and why things are happening behind the scenes, who he Lord and the nuns are and how their behaviour impacts the other characters.

I don't want to say too much, because there was a lot going on in this volume. But, what an ending! There were so many huge revelations, but that ending was a spectacular ending!

TRIGGERS: war, child abuse, PTSD

Després d'un volum que ja gairebé havia oblidat, la història continua amb un munt de girs de guió, dubtes i un lore cada cop més complicat. Suposo que mentalment havia classificat aquesta sèrie com un BL de fantasia, però té elements distòpics i de ciència ficció que em van costa molt d'encaixar en el 3r volum i que ara tenen una millor cabuda. Punt positiu sempre la parella de l'Alto i l'Eva, que són adorables i s'estimen amb bogeria ❤️ només espero que acabi bé i tothom sigui feliç :')

where to read: inkr

This volume has an overwhelming amount of information. It hasn't been that long since I read the last volume, but I spent the beginning of this a little confused since it just immediately goes into all this info. So it's definitely better read immediately after volume 3.

The messaging in this can be a little heavy handed, but the connection of the real world and how it affects this fantasy world is interesting. They talk about war, the fight for gay marriage, and the control of powerful people. Also it's went into the topic of childhood sexual abuse. I actually really liked how that was done. Elva is learning about things that he was sheltered from and there's a moment where he's like oh that's what was done to me? All he knew was how it had made him feel, but didn't understand the act. It's such a realistic depiction. I also love that it's not shown at all. Just alluded to. There's so many things I've read that graphically depict abuse when it's so unnecessary. Like you can easily show it without actually showing it. Anyway, Elva and Alto are my precious babies and I'll probably be waiting a while for volume 5, but I can't wait to learn more about their world and I really want to see them get further in their relationship.
