Review: Hinterkind by Ian Edginton, Francesco Trifogli, Cris Peter (Volumes 1-3)

Synopsis: Told across three volumes, this story concerns that end of humans - and the rise of the Hinterkind. After an unnamed plagued kills most humans, the Hinterkind came out from hinding - the Sindhe, the goblins, vampires, fairies, the ghouls and ghosties, the magical creatures only heard about in legends. And they are here to make sure humans never rise again.....

Review: I picked this up based on the cover of volume one. I read the entire set because of the dark and grim nature of the stories. 

This is not a pleasant story. Humans stand on the brink of extinction. From all sides they are hunted, living among the broken remnants of the modern world.

The story follows Prosper Monday as she sets out on an adventure. It quickly escalates into a fight for her life, the life of those she loves, and for the very survival of the world.

It is a dark story. Death haunts them and not all the characters make it out. Bold, classic colors and dynamic lines tell a bloody and creepy tale. I wasn’t prepared for the intrigue, the violence, or the level of creepiness of the narrative. However, that only made me want more story. With excellent world building, complex characters, and twisted plot, this is well worth reading.
Many have complained the third volume wrapped up the story too neatly and too quickly. While I agree about the too quickly, I actually like the neatly part. I detest stories that leave loose ends. It did feel a bit rushed. I think they could have stretched the story for another volume with more satisfactory results. But in the end, I still enjoyed the story and would recommend.
