I was reading this on the plane home for a weekend. I spent the ride snickering to myself and slowly realizing that I shouldn't be reading it in a public place!

I love Saga's usually humorous, sometimes dark, but overall matter-of-fact treatment of sex and sexuality. I think this was the volume with a lot of fourth-wall pinging humor that made me laugh out loud more than once. For instance, turning the page and being slammed with a full-page pin-up of Marko saying "Oh, do keep reading."

Also, can I just say: the cover. The cover. I have stared at it for up to 15 minutes at a time, and I could go on staring at it forever. Wow. So much story there---the blood, the wings of some unknown dying creature, the sword, and Marko's vague and distracted look---in one simple panel. ( )

I liked the art style.
My favourite character was Barr so looks like I’ll need to find a new one.
I found this interesting enough to continue the series. ( )

I read these two volumes back-to-back in an air port waiting room and then on a plane, so I'm writing them together. I'm so intrigued by this series and should have been reading it so much earlier than this. I should have been reading back when everyone was talking about it. I should have been reading it when it got all the possible awards and then awards.

I so many feelings about this series. About the setup, the characters, the future-past narration, the amazing everything playing back and forth, and how much heart it has everywhere already. I'm madly, deeply fascinated about what it is and curious about where it is going. I'm definitely on this train for a while to come. ( )

4.5 stars. I liked this one a little more than the first. The only reason I didn't go with a 5-star rating is that the language and images can be excessively explicit in spots, and I don't always see a point to it. Besides that, the series is creatively and humorously done—two things I value highly in my reading material. The exciting story and characters are definitely keeping me on board with this series. ( )
