Monstress, Vol. 2: The Blood by Marjorie M. Liu

5.0

---

Definitely a nice continuation of the series. I liked the new characters introduced, and was excited to get more answers on how the world works and the different political factions at play. The pirates and ocean cities were also definitely a plus, and with each volume, I want to know more and more the secrets swirling around Maika. I will say that this is a story that focuses more on the big picture than the characters, but it works with all of the details involved.
