Monstress, Vol. 7: Devourer by Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda

4.0

As I mentioned my reviews of Monstress Volumes 4-6, it's getting very hard to review these. Each volume is less a complete story in and of itself and more a section of the middle of a single larger story. It's like picking a random five chapters out of the middle of a novel and trying to review just those. This was especially difficult since this volume just came out and it's been over a year since I was last immersed in the weird and wonderful world of the Monstress series. I still followed the main points of the story, but I know there are so many details I missed. (I still deeply appreciated the gorgeous artwork, though.) That was especially difficult in this one, as Maika herself took a back seat to other characters, several of whom I just did not recall. I think the best way to read this series is to wait for all of the books to come out, purchase them all, and then read them all back to back so you get the whole story all at once. Knowing that will not stop me from devouring each entry as it comes out, though.
