Another great installment in the Locke and Key series, and now I’m halfway through and I have to wait to read the other half until my other half finishes them. Too many “other halfs”? Oh well.

I particularly liked the way that this one ended, and it’s got me stoked to read more of the series. I also like how the backstory is still being developed at the same time as the main story, while new keys keep being introduced and changing the story on its head. I can’t wait to keep on reading, and the only thing I’m sad about is that at some point, it has to end. But at least it’s been a fun ride.

Another strong instalment at the series, and I’m starting to feel pretty invested by this point. The only thing that I’m really worried about is the fact that it currently feels so open that I feel like it could go on for much longer than the four more volumes that are out. But then, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, and so perhaps they quit while they were ahead.

I can’t say too much here without spoiling the plot, but suffice to say that we get to quite literally see inside some of the characters’ heads. It’s a unique little quirk that I haven’t seen elsewhere and it was cool to see what Hill and Rodriguez could do with the idea. Cool.
