*sigh* I really loved this series. I think the story was too big and too complex for the number of issues produced, however. The ending felt rushed and... not satisfying. I can see how things were wrapped up and how an arc might have been completed, but this wasn't what I expected. I'm sad to say I can't recommend this series to friends knowing how it ended up.

I couldn't finish this one. I enjoyed the first volume quite a lot, but this volume didn't feel connected at all with all the new characters and plots and whatnot introduced. And I have no idea what happened to Isla, our MC from volume 1. Is she even in this story anymore? It just wasn't what I was expecting.

5. Este si es el capítulo que estaba esperando. Con respuestas y giros más o menos inesperados.
3.5. Avanza algo pero con personajes que no me interesan demasiado.
4. Chica fuerte la prota.
4. Me gusta Tarik. Su camino del heroe y todo eso.
3.Mmm flojito.
3. Todo se mueve demasiado rápido. Sobretodo teniendo en cuenta el ritmo pausado del volumen anterior.
4.75. Me gustó el final, que fuera tan redondo. Pero sigo creyendo que el principal problema de este comic es lo poco que profundiza. Tanto en personajes como en el mundo, que son increíbles y me saben a poco.

Needed more time and more issues to tell the full tale. Spend your time on something more satisfying.

I'm a bit bummed with what happened to Torn in the end, but otherwise a solid book.

There are many good ideas in this series, but they have not been well organised and merged into one coherent story. Too many pieces of information are droped surprisingly just when they are needed instead of building the world up first (or the two worlds, as it suddenly turns out in issue 12 of 13!).
A major dealbreaker for me was the choice of replacement artist when Meghan Hetrick was unavailable. Her replacement does not even try to emulate her unique style. His own style is ugly and appears 15 years behind time - at least when directly compared to the art of the rest of the series. I literally stopped reading when I saw the style switch again in issue 12 and realised issue 13 was largely not illustrated by Hetrick.
It's a shame. There's a lot of potential here!
