Volume 5 may not provide all the answers, but it continues to build the emotional and haunting artwork of the series. While it may not be as revealing as the previous volume, it still manages to pull at the heartstrings, weaving an emotionally complex tale. Vol 5 offers some revelations, particularly regarding Shiva’s past, adding more layers to her character and the world she inhabits. However, these insights, while intriguing, are not enough to fully grasp the broader implications of the story. The sense of mystery remains intact, which can be both a strength and a slight frustration, as the series continues to unveil its secrets at a slow, deliberate pace. Another strong entry in what is shaping up to be a beautifully tragic tale. Can’t wait to start the next volume.
