By far my favorite Graphic Novel series ever. The final volume absolutely brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic series as a whole! ( )

Series is getting better. Complex plotting. Deep characters. Fantastic artwork. ( )

The continuing adventures of the Locke family include Kinsey making new friends at school, Nina struggling harder than ever with her alcoholism, oh, and a bunch of shadows coming to life and attacking the children.

This book definitely doesn't stand on its own but instead continues where the last volume left off. This volume had a lot going on in it, although generally it was all handled well. There were some new characters introduced but mostly we see the same folks we've been seeing. A couple of new keys are discovered here, along with their powers. The lore of the keys continues to be an interesting mystery (particularly if, unlike me, you haven't watched the TV show based on this series already) but I find the personal relationships and growth of the Locke family members to be the most compelling parts of the story.

While this wasn't my favorite volume so far, I'm invested enough in the story to want to proceed to the next volume. ( )

The scariest part ofthis series might be the horror over watching the family break down. I wait with baited breath to see what every key does. I can't stop reading it now. Onto volume 4. ( )

I enjoyed this more than the second volume as it had a greater focus on the kids. I have already jumped into the next one. ( )
