Sunstone

Sunstone 6-7

Not quite as good as the Lisa/Ally story.  I think it’s because the Alan/Ally side of this tale was already established over the first five volumes, and this is filling gaps that I didn’t really need filled.  The Anne/Laura relationship is really well done though, and I’m having a blast with that.  However, it’s all a little depressing because we know neither of these pairings will last.  Anne and Laura are already being set up for a horrible, painful breakup.  I do trust that Stjepan Sejic will make it all worth it once Alan and Anne get together.  I just wish the next volume would come out sooner.  With all of his ongoing projects, there’s no way of knowing when that will be.  (His Twitter currently says he’s working on “sunstone v8, death vigil v2, the queen and the woodborn v1, achilles shieldmaidens v1.”  Phew!  Whatever keeps him creatively inspired!)
