Description
Once just a single ship, now the pirate fleet of the Rebel Army numbers in its thousands. Made up of traitors from each of the three empires, the fleet, who once made the open waters of the Blood Coast their home, have set their sights on establishing their own land based empire with London as their capital.
The Rebel Army is a battalion made up of traitors to each of the three empires, who've claimed the open waters of the Blood Coast as their territory. Led by a Faroan, a Veskan, and an Arnesian (Rowan, the Antari from the Night of Knives), the RA started as a rag-tag gang, a single ship, but in the last few months, they've gained momentum. Once content to claim the open water as their empire, they've grown in ambition, and scope, and now they're claiming ports, creeping toward a full-on land assault. Their goal? London. But first, they'll have to cross Verose, where Maxim, Isra, and the royal guard are waiting.

With the last installment of my favorite author's comic series, I finally completed the collection! This last arc about Maxim's legend as the Steel Prince is about the army of pirates that mercilessly attacks the port cities at the aptly named blood coast. They want to become independent from the monarchy, so of course Maxim has to stop them. An old enemy of his is on their side, though, and their fight is as inevitable as impossible to win. I have to admit that by the time I read this comic, I was already not really that interested in the story anymore. It's been too long since I read the previous installments, let alone the main books. I couldn't really say anything about any character development and I'm not sure if I understood the ending properly. Furthermore, the art style isn't my favorite and it's made it hard for me to recognize the main characters. It wasn't too big of a problem, though, because the dialogue and context helped me out a lot when I was puzzling over who is who and what are they doing. In the end, the four chapters present a gripping story. I also understand that my expectations of a big strategy for the finale were a bit too high considering the page count. The depiction of magic and generally seeing Red London in all its colors is still wonderful! I do recommend this comic series for fans of the Darker Shade of Magic-trilogy, but maybe not for people who are new to this world.
