Having team SSSN join team CFVY in Vacuo was a an interesting mix of character traits. Then watching all the Beacon orphans cope really got to me. There was an excellent building up of what was to come from Vol 7-8 all while still feeling very in the dark about what was happening on the other side of the world. Still a great companion piece to the series.

I'm very excited to see how the crown helps Salem. With Vol 9.5 showing Mercury freeing them, i'm glad to have the context from this book.
