Reread for review: July 7, 2024

I absolutely adore this volume of Saga. I think it does a great job of catching us up on multiple storylines and some complicated character dynamics. It’s got a little bit of everything and I think Hazel’s voice really starts to solidify.

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.
