Although I've liked this series overall, I haven't given a real glowing score to any of the individual issues yet. They've usually been in the 7's, meanwhile making it clear that it'll probably make for an excellent trade when collected all together. Well, this issue was the best issue of the series so far. It's got some messed up stuff like deer women slaughtering skinless men, and your understanding of the bond between the two girls is strengthened to the point where these are two characters that you genuinely care about, and a new question pops up: how did the witch owe El's mother a favor? Oh! Speaking of skinless men, those skinless men had to have come from Jessica's house. I'm not sure Jessica is still alive. Read Full Review

This series continues to be one I can't put down. While this is a bit of a table setting issue, it also does the heavy lifting to set up expectations and what we know about key characters and this world.

I’ll admit, I want to know what the hell is going on, but this is consistently my least favorite book of the Hill House label. It just never really seems to go anywhere, it’s been the same unanswered questions for 3 months.

I could not care less about anything happening here. Sorry, not sorry.
