Monstress, Vol. 2: The Blood
by Marjorie M. Liu
When I rated book one I had trouble deciding what to rate it. Not so with this. The art is a hard core five star. It's gorgeous, just beautiful and detailed and simply amazing. You just don't see art like this that often any more.
The story is still very well written. What was different was I liked Maika Halfwolf better this time. She's still rough and violent but she is also capable and she is so screwed thanks to her mother. You can't blame her for being one angry young woman.
Without giving too much away, there are pirates, demons and goddesses. There's plenty of tall ships a sailing, friends helping each other, plenty of battle scenes and intrigue and betrayal. The characters are diverse and well fleshed out. It's not a pretty world It's a bit too dystopic for my tastes but it's so well told that I'm hooked. It lives up to its hype.
