In the arenas, the Campton kids have won their ‘citizenship’
of the In-Between-World’s strange society. Now free to come and go as they
please, they’ve left town for the mountains, following Dodzi without really
knowing why.
When the young boy explains to them that he is in fact
trying to discover whether he is the herald of Evil – the Midnight Child – a
violent dispute ensues. Meanwhile, hidden nearby, the soldiers of the First
Families await an opportunity to attack...
I reviewed no. 8 –The Arena back in April and to be honest I
opened this new album up and sat back to enjoy.
I then had difficulty remembering what had gone on before as this is
seven months later and I read a lot. In fact, I think that I may be missing an
album as certain references drew a blank from me. Cinebook does seem to be getting long delays
in books appearing –this album is designated August 2018 and I have waited but
it is still on the site as This product is currently not available.
A pity because I do love this series and the characters in
it interact well. I initially stated
that I wondered whether this would work.
Violence, scary scenes, killings and all the other things do work and
not an adult in sight. I will warn you
to prepare for a shock at the
end of this one.
I would hate to see Alone as a movie or TV series
because it works so well in comic book format.
A winner!
