I'm still very much enjoying this series, and even better, so are my students. I love the artwork, especially the sweeping double page spreads. The monsters are terrifying, the story is moving along at a good paced, and I love the dynamic between Emily and the unfortunately named Trellis. It's great to see a hero/anti-hero dynamic without romantic tones involved.
The only thing really annoying me is the mom. I can't honestly see how she'd let her children run off into this after the trauma in her life. She's kind of a hindrance on the plot. I wish she'd either join the cast as an Action Mom or at least stop getting kidnapped.
