This was a hard one to rate for me. I didn’t think it deserved a 4 star rating in my eyes, but I don’t think it was a strict three either, so I’ll give it a 3.25. (Definitely closer to a 3 than a 4)

Firstly, I did like the graphics in this book. Visually, it was really beautiful and the artist did an amazing job! I also think the concept of the Woods was super interesting and unique. I did enjoy the plot and storyline of this book, however there was so much text crammed on to the page it was a little bit of a drag to het through (although it was a quick read for me). I also did like the characters we were introduced to, but some times it was a little hard to keep up with them all and connect to them on a deeper level. I won’t lie, because there are so many characters, I don’t really remember any of the characters names but only recognize them from what they look like.

Overall, I did enjoy this book and will continue on with the next volume to see if I will love this graphic novel as if progresses. It was a quick and fun read. I am also really hoping to become more invested into the storyline and the characters.

I definitely enjoyed this volume of the Woods a lot more than the first. I really enjoyed getting a deeper look into this new world they have found themselves in. As well as that, I also liked seeing into the characters past (well past year) and getting to know the characters on a more deeper level and understanding more about them. Despite that, I still did feel that disconnect from the characters like I did in the first volume. 

Overall, I enjoyed where the plot took us in this book and am intrigued to see where this story goes from here!

A Midwestern high school is transported into the middle of an Alien forest. This is the story of what happens next. Every hundred years, the Black City has selected a remote population from Earth and transported them to the woods. These civilizations have not always lived in harmony...but now, they must either fight in unison to turn their weapons against the technology that brought them here in the first place, or meet total elimination in the face of Isaac’s unworldly power. Will this unification of factions be enough or are they all doomed? Written by James Tynion IV (Detective Comics, Memetic) and illustrated by Michael Dialynas (Gotham Academy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), The Woods: The Final War collects the critically acclaimed eighth arc of the best-selling series.

With Clay and the Duke teaming up to try and force the school into servitude for the New London army, the kids need to think up a plan to save their peers, and fast. And with Adrian uncontrollable and on the loose, no one knows what his next move will be" --

At first I thought I wouldn't like this, but in the end I really enjoyed the whole mystery behind what happened to everyone and the misplaced high school drama and all that. The art is pretty cool too.
