Rock Jaw: Master of the Eastern Border by Jeff Smith
5.0
With each passing volume, Bone grows more and more brilliant. We learn about new players and another layer of depth and backstory in this volume, showing again that Smith is acutely aware that all story is really the slow unveiling of backstory and how that transforms the characters through changes of mind in heart.
In this one, we confront the lie of nihilism — that power is all that matters — with the clean and clear virtue ethics of childhood. Friendship and trust and love win the day here, but precisely because they’re more substantial than power.
Great work. Looking forward to 5.
