A review by katharine_opal
Barbarous, Chapter 3 by Rachael Cohen, Yuko Ota, Ananth Hirsh, J.N. Wiedle
4.0
(This is technically a reread! I'm binge-reading it instead of page by page like I did the first time to see how the story flows!)
We see more into Percy's back story, and at this point, she's become way more of a likable character than in her first introduction. She's a clumsy and awkward person, but you can tell she has a genuine desire to help other people. We get a bit more in the world-building, such as learning a little bit more about the Academy. We also see that Percy and Leeds have grown a little bit closer in their time working together. Also, in that one scene, the artist's AMAZING way of using color to elevate a scene gets shown. I've read the full-color edition of Lucky Penny, so I'm already familiar with their excellent use of color, so it's so nice to see it here as well. Something about the vibrant colors just makes the scene feel out of this world!
