This volume's halves both serve the same purposes:
- Introduce a new member to Lord Baltimore's monster-fighting ensemble. These members each have a gimmick and are stock characters for the genre.
- Explore a villain whose personal tragedy distorted their take on religion. "The Witch of Harju" works better for this than "The Apostle", but it's 50% versus 25%.
The gap between my reading of volumes four and five may have taken the air out of this one.
