This volume picks up after a little time skip, and I really like that choice as the progression felt natural. It was very fun to see Hazel a little bit older, speaking and walking around as a toddler now and interacting with the world around her more. I also loved how the conflicts started with general married spouse arguments, tension rising, until the stakes suddenly spiked again by the end of the volume with a big cliffhanger ending. We are essentially following 3 different groups of characters and their storylines, but seeing how they are tied together and how they inevitably clash is the thrilling and juicy part. I have come to love almost all of the diverse cast of characters and am just speeding through these comics because I can't wait for more.

Do I keep giving all of these volumes 5 stars? Yes, yes I do. I think this volume in particular takes the characters in a new direction, one we might not have expected. And that's what I like about this series! You never quite know what to expect, and that keeping you on your feet really just adds to the enjoyment of this series.

Almost halfway done! The directions the characters take in this volume just adds complexity to them. The story goes in directions that you don't expect and that's one of the things I enjoy so much about this series. That and the amazing cast of characters, even if they're only around for a couple of issues.
