I knew something was going to happen to Kippa!
The whole story is so interesting though. I'm too invested in the mysteries of this world. I like seeing more of the monster actually and learning more of his past in this volume.
I see there is more to Kippa than meets the eye which with how everything else is going is to expected.
I need to get the next volume stat!

Pēc pirmajām daļām šī liekas ka neiederas. Laikam jāpārlasa pirmās.

Review for Monster Librarian forthcoming.

 These always start so confusing but they’re easy to fall back into despite it, and I kind of love being thrown head first into a world with no explanation. Every volume gets more intense than the last and I’m trying my hardest to make this series last as long as I can because I don’t want it to end!!

I feel like I am handing out five stars like candy lately 🤭, but AHHHHHHHHHH WTF!!!!!!! I enjoyed the first two volumes so much, but I've got to say... After this one, I am LOCKED IN! As with any high fantasy works, it can been overwhelming being thrown into a world you don't understand, but the first two volumes leave enough to build from to continue on. There's still a lot of stuff I have no clue about, but I'm definitely feeling more grounded in the world this volume and am beginning to understand the gravity of some of the shit popping off. I am hooked and I need more volumes to come out (dear god I hope this is ongoing) because I'm about to tear through the remaining 5 volumes currently out. ALSO I COULD SUE FOR THAT CLIFFHANGER 😭😭😭😭

Liu and Takeda's comic continues to be one of the best out there. The art is some of the most stunning in comics, ever. The story is rich, complex and full of deeply rewarding mythos and kick-ass characters. It's veering toward the overly complicated and it's getting difficult to be certain you understand everything going on (you ache for smaller moments). But, I look forward to every volume of this and can't wait to see where it will go.

Uh, so this is one of my favourites. I rave about Marjorie M. Liu's storytelling and Sana Takeda's artwork whenever I talk about graphic novels. This is the kind of panache I'm looking for in storytelling. Daring, fun, entertaining while kicking some major ASS. And I always give panache five stars.
