Petrichor and Prince Robot are officially a thing, and it’s the best. Ianthe has The Will and has forced him into slavery, while looking for Hazel. “It takes someone you love to break your heart.” There will be SPOILERS, so please do not continue if you have not read this graphic-novel or the ones leading up to this volume! I mostly do this so I can go back and refresh what has happened in which specific issue. And I truly think she is one of the best protagonists, of any story, of all time.Īs always, Saga is a dark story that has very adult, NSFW content! So, please use caution! Content and trigger warnings for slavery, fatphobic comments, death, murder, talk of past child abuse, and sexual content.Īs always, I’m now going to break down each chapter (single issue) in this bind-up. My heart breaks for Hazel and heals for Hazel every single page. While also always being forced to live on the run, while being forced to grow up faster than anyone in the galaxy, while realizing that no one you love is ever safe. Just seeing this baby, this toddler, this little girl, be forced to grow up in a world where hatred is bred. I’ve always said that it is completely genius to have this story be told with Hazel as the narrator, and Volume 9 really showcases that. But this addition to the story was a masterpiece, a painful masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless. Especially not knowing when Volume 10 will be released because the creators are taking a break. I can’t help being invested with each and every character, but this volume just hurts. This is for sure the most emotionally driven volume of Saga yet, which is really saying something considering everything that has happened over the course of all of these issues. “War can’t be ended any more than the rain.”
