I was very excited to see that another volume in the Rat Queen’s series was released; I was worried that this series was done for good. While this wasn't as good as previous installments, it as still a fun continuation of the Rat Queen's series.
I am a bit disappointed in the switch in artists; I
I feel like this series is going downhill, which is a pity because it is very fun concept. This story also feels very disjointed from the last book which left us at a cliffhanger. The last book implied that Violet was turning seriously evil, however that whole storyline is dropped here. Suddenly now we start back in town with all the Rat Queens there and it seems like a lot of time has passed. The Rat Queens are trying to get back together for some new adventures.
Overall this was an okay addition to the Rat Queens series. I still found it entertaining but was disappointed both in the artwork and the disjointed story. I would recommend if you are a huge Rat Queens fan and just hope that the series improves in the next volume. I have been such a huge fan of this series that I am willing to stick with it for one more book, but if the next one is as mediocre as this one I might be setting this series aside.

like this artwork even less than the previous artwork and I liked that less than the first couple volumes. I know there has been a lot of controversy around the artists doing this series. Although this artwork was okay, I felt like the a lot of the characters (especially Violet) suffered from the change in artist. It just feels more unfinished and doesn’t convey the story as well.I feel like this series is going downhill, which is a pity because it is very fun concept.

I was pleased to see this at the library, as there had been conflict and controversy around this series and I wasn't sure that it would make it to a fourth volume.
I was perplexed from page one. It seemed kind of like a reboot? but not? The events in this volume clearly take place after some of the
I hate to say it, but I'm probably done with this series.

events in previous volumes, but it felt like it completely ignored about 70% of volume three. Was there some good Rat Queens fun in this one? Yes. But ultimately, the amount of time I spent trying to guess what had and hadn't happened in this new time line left me very irritated.I hate to say it, but I'm probably done with this series.

In the previous comic, Hannah's dad has gone before the Council and attacked them for not being what they should be. It turns out that the last time years ago when Hannah was a child her dad took down the evil Council for its practices and installed those who were involved in the revolt as the new
The Rat Queens go adventuring when they run into Vi's twin brother and his group of fellows he calls the Cat Kings which include an old mage, a fungus druid, and a walking mushroom. He intends to follow her and help her out whether she needs it or not and hopefully knock some sense into her and get her to come home. When they go up against a dragon, the Rat Queens take it down in hilarious fashion while her brother stabs it in the eye once it's down.
They meet The Chorus, a group of four creatures who hunt down religious cults but don't seem to do anything about them. They were headed toward Palisades to look into the Squid problem. The next day the Rat Queens and The Cat Kings head out and do something they vow never to do again: Loot a temple.
This book is hilarious in true Rat Queen's fashion. Vi is a bit heartsick because Dave is under the Squid cult's spell and Hannah is embarrassed about her father staying with them and the things he does. Braga the Orc is looking for a new group to hang with. And Dee and Betty are having a blast. This was a great book that I really loved. I give it five out of five stars.

Council. Hannah and the gang are heading to her hometown to visit her father because she hasn't heard from him in a while and is worried about him. Dee wants to end her religion by killing their god. But she needs help and luckily her brother happens to be there attending his fifth anniversary at the Mage University. Her atheist brother is shocked to find out that there is a god in the first place. But he has information on Hannah. Things she hasn't told her friends. She entered a pact with a demon to help her with her school work and was sent before the Council and banished from the University. While there she attacked the Council. But it wasn't really her it was the demon working through her who did so. Hannah's other secret is that she is half-demon herself. Dee's brother helps her get rid of their squid god, but unfortunately, it goes to the Rat Queen's home base of Palisades.The Rat Queens go adventuring when they run into Vi's twin brother and his group of fellows he calls the Cat Kings which include an old mage, a fungus druid, and a walking mushroom.

The Rat Queens get a new artist and a soft reboot of their story that sweeps previous unresolved storylines under the rug. It's rather subdued and a bit touch-feely compared to previous books. But, hey, I'm here for the characters, so I'm okay with the two nowhere adventures offered up.

Not totally sold on the new artist, but it feels like my Queens are coming back. Yay!
