Berlin Book Three: City of Light by Jason Lutes
3.0
Definitely my least favorite of the trilogy, especially when the main character just like faces the audience and says "I'm like a child, I do'nt know what to believe or what to think" and it's like yes you're the audience cipher, we get it.
Also breaks one of teh golden rules of Nazi storytelling: don't feature Hitler unless there's a good reason to feature Hitler.
So, that said, it's a beautiful book. If anything it kinda goes light on the characters and therefore the audience in a way that feels kind of undeserved after the death and destruction in volumes 1 and 2. I enjoyed reading it and saing goodbye to everyone. Just doesn't really hit the highs of the first two.
