Finding direction at last, Kevin Matchstick attempts to rescue his family by laying siege to the fortress of the Umbra Sprite. With The Pendragon at the gate, Magda and Hugo must still face mystical pitfalls as they press onward, attempting to escape from the heart of their enemies' lair.
It's easy to see how the book will wrap up in a couple of issues but at the same time I wish we had a lot more left in order to explore a lot more of what's going on and who everyone is and where they've been. This issue nudges Magda and Hugo forward a bit and provides for a bit of action whereas we get a big piece for Kevin and a lot more journey material now that Mirth as arrived and is helping a bit. It's got all the cues of a book heading into its finale and the tension is ramping up well even if it does leave me wishing it had a bit more meat on its bones, especially for a book thas has been running as long as this one has. It just feels very streamlined. Read Full Review
