With its final issue, this miniseries clarifies its mission and strengthens itself against criticism. Toil and Trouble #6 opts for solid storytelling and quiet moments over bombast or fan-service. It's a declaration of who Scott is and how intelligent and honest her writing can be, not to mention a reminder of Nicole and Kelly Matthews' talents. Ultimately, Toil and Trouble is not a must read book, but it remains, from start to finish, an intelligent, beautiful piece of work with much to offer fans of fantasy, magic, literature or meaningful relationships between sisters, between parents and children, and between people and their history.
