This volume is chock-full of action and beginnings of new interesting plot lines. We get to see Hazel's physical and mental growth, the new life that her grandmother makes for herself, new side characters that bring a lot of potential to the table, and Alana and Marko reunited. Old characters also return and are just as intriguing and fun to watch as ever, and it ends with a big plot point that setups a nice cliffhanger for the next volume. Great development for the story so far!

This is my favorite volume in the Saga series so far. I'm gearing up for the return of this extensive series next year, and I'm almost caught up. In volume 6, I think the time jump did the story some favors, and it returned some hope for these characters' futures that had been sorely lacking previously. So what was there to love, in the vaguest, non-spoilery-ish sense?

1. The beginnings of a conversation on gender identity, particularly for those outside society's categorization or those whom others willfully miscategorize
2. The return of Izabel, my favorite fictional babysitter
3. The arrival of Hazel as an active participant in the plot
4. A teacher who doesn't suck (go, team! give that woman a raise and some actual time for herself!)
5. The return of my favorite reporters and their mission to uncover the truth/story of a lifetime while dodging homophobia
6. Last but not least, I offer an ode to Marko's brief flirtation with a beard. Alana told him to lose it, and she has never made a more foolish choice. Did she SEE him? Did she miss the swoon-inducing qualities of Marko with a beard and a sword/shield combo?? Is she trying to punish me by removing it from the page so soon? These are my questions.
