The problem with reading series as they come out, is that I forget everything that happened in the last book. Usually I come into a series after it is mostly finished and read them all in a row. This often makes it annoying when the books often recaps or remind, and i'm usually like uh yes duh. But now i'm begging for it because practically the entire plot of the last two books had escaped me. This also happened with Monsters of Men and is going on with Behemoth. Damn me and being on top of series (kinda). Anyways the art is once again very nice, and I'm a sucker for cool flying steampunk style everything. I felt however this book was lacking. Maybe the other books were more stand alone stories with a big climax. This one felt more like a volume in a multi-part series, which is what it is, but when reading it stand alone with months(years?) between this one and the previous/next it does not satisfy. Me want more. Also when will people learn that people who have powers can use those powers to throw stuff at you?! Ha ha I've blocked your energy power, then said person uses said energy to throw shit at you. It even happens it star wars! Also Elfen Lied which admittedly is not as well known.
