Summary
After reading Stronghold, this book gets its themes across well by making the character’s 3 dimensional without being too on the nose. The representation is spot on, and what I like is that they do not preach the themes but sew them well into the story. I also like the sci-fi elements in the issue that work well with this futuristic society; that is wonderful world-building. This series has the potential to be great.
