Beautiful art and with lot of great action scenes but it is too confusing to get a better rating. I feel like this is the same with first two volumes: beginning is promising but confusing, middle is dragging a bit and then near the end it becomes fantastic and leaves me wanting more.
I'll definitely continue with the series cause I'm invested in story and character, especially Ren and Kippa.

I read the first and second volumes of Monstress out of order by accident, and chalked up the difficulty following the story to that. However, I did not grant that flexibility to volume three, and I was lost often. Sometimes it was difficult to follow the action from panel to panel. (Beautiful panels, both, of course.) This story is so complexly wonderful, with so much going on, that I wish there was more simplicity in its structuring. I want to be immersed in the story, but I get confused so often that I have to slow down or stop and go back a few pages to reinterpret the panels. The information in the Professor Tam Tam lectures is dense, and I struggle to take it all in. I hope that the next volume will slow down a bit and let readers discover more organically.
Give me a companion novel about the little ball of puff dog please.
Really good, think I enjoyed this one a little more than volume 2 overall though i DO wish i could read these closer together, after 2+ years it's hard to remember all of the secondary characters and keep all of the political factions/family connections straight.

As beautiful and engaging as the others with one big difference: a huge cliffhanger! To no surprise, the plot gets thicker and deeper leaving you to want to know what happens next. There are still parts that are a little cloudy, and many, many threads yet to be tied together, but I cannot wait to read the next volume.
