After learning of the Prime Minister’s involvement, Eva devises a plan to get her team into the Seeker’s hidden base. A mission the Queen decides she wants to be a part of. At the same time, Canto faces off against Amon but things that a dramatic turn. A turn that will force Fel to act, but she is stopped by Amon who tells her how the Order has been lying to her starting with his own story. In the aftermath, Fel is given a chance to choose her own future.
Eva’s team arrives in Bangkok to infiltrate the Seeker base. When their mission goes south, a massacre follows and the group finds themselves not only on the run, but at risk of eminent death until Caspar manifests a strange and interesting secret of his own.
The Story: The twists and turns of this series continue to resonate with me with every issue. Taylor has created an intricate and engaging story in this series and this issue especially. The plot twists and betrayals keep the reader on edge while the revelations only enhance the story and the world being created. The action is fantastic and the characters continue to grow and evolve in ways that make you question who is right and who is wrong. I cannot wait to see where this story goes next.
The Art: Daniele Di Nicuolo delivers some beautiful imagery throughout the issue. There are awesome action scenes and expressive characters that engage the reader visually.
