And they’re back. The departure was rather dramatic (Vaughan just went and killed one of the main characters) and it’s been a few years. I wasn’t sure they were going to come back at all, but people love their serials and space operas, and to be fair, Saga is one of the best.
So much so that even this reader who doesn’t like either serials or space operas, loves it. Or at least, likes it a lot. The return acknowledges the few years interval. The kid narrator’s older and just as wily. And her family are still persons non grata in a conflicted war-torn galaxy. It’s been a decade and no one can let go or forget about the unlikeliest of unions between the warring factions. It was all for love. Now it’s all for survival. In many ways, Saga remains the same, with assassins in pursuit, fun quirky weird interesting exciting characters. Oodles of action, graphic sex displays, clever narration. I wasn’t sure how it would go on after the last book, but now the path seems clear. This one can go on and on, all across the galaxy, if only on the strength of what’s already there. And the thing is, I’d read it too. It’s fun. The books are gorgeously drawn. Who knows how long Vaughan plans to let it go, but hey, he did name it Saga. Overall, very good. An exciting space adventure. Recommended.
