3.5
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cover: ⭐⭐⭐
Art: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can't tell if I like or dislike Isabela more now, after reading this volume?
I mean, it was alright. I was willing to give it 3,5 stars because I do actually like Isabela and did like learning more about her character, but despite her having a backstory, through all the sexualizing it is obvious that she will always just be there for the men's gaze.
Story was overall okay, a bit more interesting that the one from the previous number. I'm really sorry tho, but Alistair is so forgettable in these comics, maybe cause Isabela is the bigger focus or cause his personality doesn't really shine in these comics.
The cover looks fine, not as funky as the previous one tho.
The art was also nice. I decided to give this one a bigger rating for the art cause some panels really caught my attention.
My biggest issue is and will always be just how sexualized female characters are. I've seen Isabela's butt cheeks more times than I wanted to, and every single female character of course has her cleavage out. There was no improvement on this point and it's really hecking gross. I'm yet to see a female character in these comics who is designed like a regular woman and not a character to get all straight, horny men excited. Like, come on, 3 female characters, two wear such horny outfits and the third is instantly flirty, shut up
