Somehw this volume is darker than the original Something is Killing the Children, and that's obviously saying something. But the horror is just so much more personal, with Jace fighting for vengeance and for his family (two families!).
I like the first book first, because it makes heavy use of Aaron, and so revisits a character that came and went much too fast in the core story. But Jace is an interesting story too, and moreso what his story reveals about the monster hunters, their various orders, and their relations with other houses.
Overall, a great book for expanding the universe, though not quite up to the original.
(And definitely the better part of the House of Slaughter spin-off. The alternate issues, presumably to be collected in a different volume, were not worth reading.)

Mucho ruido y pocas nueces, pero bueno, está entretenido. La primera historia es muy, muy superior a las subsiguientes, que básicamente son de mamporros, en tanto que la anterior es un relato profundo sobre el amor y la lealtad.
En fin, tomaco que se lee en un par de horas, como ya estamos acostumbrados en los tiempos modernos, lo que tiene su parte buena y su parte mala, y con un apartado gráfico irregular; considero que los dibujantes son excelentes narradores, pero no me termina de convencer su trazo a lo Jock, artista al que detesto cordialmente. En cuanto a la rivalidad de las casas de cazadores, está convincentemente tratada, y las soluciones drásticas que se toman para suavizarlas o alcanzar compromisos me parecen adecuadas, aunque poco sorprendentes (lo cual no deja de ser lógico, dado el pragmatismo de los actores involucrados).
Una lectura decente para pasar el rato.
