I finally got around to purchasing volume two of The Wicked + The Devine graphic novels and wow. Spoilers ahead!!
This one hit me with plot twists I didn’t even expect. Like the first volume, the artwork is incredible. The pages really well thought out. I liked that we had more of an inner dialogue with Laura and we explored her character more. Seeing her grieve was a story in itself, in this we see the search of the murderers from the last novel. And it takes some unexpected turns and has left me stunned!!
We find out unexpected gods and there is quite a lot of death and malice from other gods (which is highly frowned upon) the mother of gods herself has a few secrets and it is just high levels of drama!
This volume really changed its dynamic of storytelling, at one point there is like a ‘quiz’ different items in the protagonist’s room were labelled with a letter and you can follow the letter and discover more about the item. This was quite interesting and I loved it, it really helped explore the character’s personality as well as briefly inform us about certain things that have gone on in her life. At one point there was even a map/floor plan that seemed the protagonist did some doodles on explaining her time and whereabouts and some thoughts- this was quite a nice little addition to the story.
I really grew to love Laura in this volume, and what I’m about to say next genuinely shook me to the core. She ended up being a 13th god (there are only supposed to be 12) and then she was killed moments after!!! That’s how the comic ended and I’m in need of more. I am loving this series of graphic novels so much! I’m heading out next week to pick up the third volume!
What was the last plot twist you read that left you shook?
