Great addition to the Shades of Magic universe — gave more background of Maxim Maresh, a character I went from neutral on in the first book, to actively disliking in the second book, to being rather impressed with in the third book, back in his days where he earned the moniker the Steel Prince. More chance to see the world of Red London before the era of Lila Bard and Kell and Rhy Maresh is always appreciated, and I’m excited to read the other graphic novels in the series.

This was a solid first volume of comics! The artwork was absolutely incredible and I like the idea of a prequel because Maxim always had these mysterious stories about him in the original trilogy and I think its pretty cool to see more of him being fleshed out in a comic. I’d definitely going to continue reading the series because this volume was very entertaining.

The art style! I love it! I've missed the Shades of Magic world so damn much.
