I still enjoy this series quite a bit- I mean, if for nothing else, the art is absolutely stunning and so colorful- but I didn't love this volume as much as the others. I think it's because I don't love Emily that much- she's great and strong and I appreciate her as a character- but there's just something missing. I much prefer the other characters in the story and I'm always left wondering what's happening with Trellis or Navin or Vigo or Cogsley. The story continues to be interesting and fast paced but this one just didn't do it for me.
