Zanzi has carved a path halfway through the body of God on her journey home, but now she and Neth will face the deadliest threat in Kerethim-the shadowy creatures of the Nihli. Facing an enemy that can penetrate their minds and kill with a whisper, Zanzi will have to rely on Neth to keep them alive through the winding, bloody rivers of God's intestines.
There's a lot of exposition in this installment and it's pretty good all-around, but you have to settle in for it. And I'm glad for it because so many books are just so breezy in what they do and how they explain things. The lore that we get here is interesting, if taken with a grain of salt, and understanding the history of the world fascinates me as presented. But we also get some really good stuff that explores who and what Neth is and has been through and I like knowing that a whole lot. Zanzi comes across pretty well at the same time by her insistence on trying to save her but grappling with the way she's so focused on getting home and hating that she's gotten caught up in caring for Neth. You can see some of the po ssible angles that this will go and I'm definitely curious to see what it'll do. Read Full Review
Astone grants the visuals a rich spectrum of color that feels somewhat immersive. It all looks good. Its too bad the story assembling around the edges of the art doesnt have a bit more momentum. Sebela and Hennessy have a really unique fantasy story on their hands. If they can manage to frame that story with just a little more focus, itll go a long way towards making a classic.
