"Maika Halfwolf has begun to unlock the mysteeris of her past but the challenges of the present are only growing. In this third volume of MONSTRESS, collecting issues 13-18, Maika's journey takes her to the neutral city of Pontus, where she hopes to find temporary refuge from her pursuers. Unfortunately, Pontus may not be as safe as Maika and her allies had hoped.

As the impending war between humans and Arcanics creeps ever closer, and powerful players fight for the chance to control her future, Maika finds she must work with Zinn, the Monstrum that lives inside her, in order to ensure their mutual survival. But even that alliance might not be enough to prepare Maika for the horrors to come."

My Rating: 4/5

This series has so many things going on. The world is intense, and while there is a lot to learn, I feel like I'm starting to understand what's happening with some characters. That being said, it's very confusing, and not a light graphic novel if that's what you're looking for. I am excited to see where Maika and Zinn end up in the future along with what Zinn's memory will reveal. Excited to continue on.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
