OMG, was I ever appalled to find this in the children's section. I'm very fond of Dungeon, but way too much sex, swearing and so on for the children's section.

I've read 3 or 4 of these Dungeon volumes and have to say this one is my least favorite so far. Usually when I get done reading one of these I feel inspired, like I want to create something similar, but this time it was just really dark. There was also a bunch of sex, which is fine, but the frequency in this one made it kind of boring.

Anyway, these books are quick reads so if you're a completest then read it. If not then skip it and enjoy the others.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

It was only about half way through this volume that I realised how Bruce Wayne-ish the Night Shirt was (wealthy landowner, respected in society, has a night-time alter ego). Bizarre collection, with the first half continuing on from the previous collection while the second half doesn't seem to belong in a book called 'The Early Years'. I have no idea where the next volume might go, though the ending does reinforce ideas of Gormenghast, already instilled in the first collection.

Funny, Dramatic and awesome. Unlike the other arcs of Dungeon i feel that this one actually comes to a sort of conclusion at the end. Hyacinth and Alexandra deserves each other.
