Week 46 Review: The Possessed

From Goodreads:

Can loyalty and love transcend a history of betrayal and blood?

Maika, Kippa, and Ren return to their own world to discover a full year has passed in their absence—and Zinn is back in the clutches of Maika's father, the megalomaniacal Lord Doctor. From the relative safety of the pirate-controlled Spice Islands, Maika and her friends must regroup, recover, and find a way to stop the Lord Doctor's murderous rampage before he destroys the Known World.

Collects MONSTRESS #49-54

My Review:
This was another great volume of the series! I really enjoyed reading the issues collected together! They might be very gruesome and dark, but they are such a great story and one that I can't get enough of! And after that ending of the last one, things are changing, and I was so excited to see what was going on!

I really enjoyed watching these characters as they recovered from being away, their bodies being severely malnourished. Like the fact that Maika had lost Zinn to the Lord Doctor, and he's been waging war, it's pretty grim. 

We also had the cats that had been trapped in the other realm for all this time, who knew more about the world before everything seems to have become a secret. So I really enjoyed watching them deal with that and try to figure out what they're gonna do in this world that things have changed so much from what they knew. I still want to learn more of what's been hidden, they know, but they have to tell us now that they're here. We've only gotten hints, just bits and pieces and I can't wait to see more of the bigger picture.  

That ending, though has me so excited to see where the series is gonna go from here as things are getting worse and worse. I can't wait to see what Maika's plan might be to deal with her father, as well as rescuing her pseudo father. I need him to be rescued, he can't stay where he is, that one scene with his leg was horrible.

This was another great read from the series and I can't wait for the next one!
