Another amazing volume. Sadly, the next one will end the series.--------------- You can't unknow things once you know them, and Rue knows that the "thing" in her mother's coffin at the funeral is NOT her mother. Her mother is still alive. Of that fact, she is sure. One night, her mother comes to get her, and Rue follows her into the fairy realm. Oh,the joyful times one can have there...but, at what expense? Rue's grandfather, Aubrey, wants to erase the town Rue lives in straight off the map. People may continue to visit, but they'll wonder why and turn back out, and at the end of this volume, death of himself fulfills the wish for him.---------------- I have read a lot more graphic novels since I read the first book in this series, and I have decided that this is not one of easier ones to follow. The story jumps around a bit, often making me feel as if I have missed a page or two. It does not help that I read the first book quite a while ago and have forgotten what went on. There was a bit of a recap, but not enough to remind me of who all the characters were. I think the series would work better as one larger book, although I realize this would have made it harder to get out.I appreciate that the teenagers in the story are not all typically beautiful, or overly buxom etc.
What do You think about Das Verborgene Reich (2010)?
quick graphic read, loosely continues story from Kin. Holly Black style, of course--excellent.

I was kind of hoping for a little more depth and explanation...
