I‘ll admit, the commercials for the new TV show intrigued me, so of course I picked up the book/source material. Lots of potential in the first installment, and this second volume was even better.

So now to track down volume 3…

Daisey Interesting. I read the first one a while ago and thought it was ok. Maybe I need to try the next one before the new series comes out. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Daisey I kinda felt that way about the first one too, that things just fell apart or into clicks a bit to fast, the second one was a bit better because now you‘re following those already established groups. But yes, I can still tell it was written by a man, both the jokes and obvious (only women) humor grate at times…. It reminds me of Sleeping Beauties, another one with a great concept, that would have been even better if that idea was ⤵️ 3y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ developed by a female writer, with a female POV. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Daisey plus I have to laugh at the fact that the entire food production/distribution chain has fallen apart in 2 months, but yet multiple people have managed to travel overseas to look for the last man. 🙄. So fun, if taken as light reading and not too seriously I guess. 3y

Mehso-so

Still not loving this but this volume had fewer cringe moments and *some* of those were followed by another character explaining what was wrong with that viewpoint (but even these moments were often ruined by a complete lack of subtlety). I'm not meaning to hate on a book everyone loves but this has been hyped to me for years so I went in with inflated expectations and also this hasn't aged super well. #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Kristy_K I‘m in the middle of this series and enjoying it, but it is my least favorite of Vaughn‘s. 6y
everlocalwest @Kristy_K yeah, one of my problems is that I can't help but compare this to Saga and find it lacking. Which are your favorites of Vaughan's? 6y
Kristy_K @everlocalwest and I also enjoy his other series, Ex-Machina which didn‘t garner as much attention as Saga and Y. 6y
everlocalwest @Kristy_K Awesome, thank you! I know the friend I borrowed Y from loves Pride as well. I can't wait to ask her about Ex Machina. 6y
