A review by littledollreads
Bizenghast, Volume 5 by M. Alice LeGrow

4.0

This volume is just chalked full of sadness and grief. In the wake of Vincent's untimely death at the end of the last volume, Dinnah is struggling to hold herself together and continue to work at the mausoleum. Throughout this volume we see Dinah work her way through all of the grief that she has built up and eventually accept the death of her friend. This is one of the more emotionally taxing volumes as you can feel just how much Vincent meant to Dinah and how empty her world is without him. One thing I don't like so much about this volume is how none of the ghosts that we encounter ever feel as if they are properly dealt with, we just leave the vaults after a time. Apart from that, this is a great volume. As we head into the final stretch of the series Dinah's change in her hair marks her change as a person as things only become more difficult going forward.
