Ooooh okay. I thought the first year had me hooked…sheesh. The beginning portion is more development of the previous events from year one, as well as more development around the politics and intrigue of the nations. Even in the moments of development I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to know more about what was happening, who was doing what, etc. I love Hickman’s world building and how he is able to flow in and out between storylines seamlessly. Also, the back half of these issues is chaos and the definition of page-turning. I’m so excited to read Year Three.
