Okay. I have been enjoying this series so far but OH MY GOD THIS BOOK!! Especially the ending?!?! I have so much admiration for how the panels were put together by the artist towards the end, the sequences were extremely well done. Makes me want to frame it :) On to the final book!

This series is just as amazing the second time - one of my favorite stories, let alone comics, I've ever read. I'd strongly encourage anyone who likes offbeat, meditative fantasy to give it a read over at http://www.rice-boy.com/vattu/, and order the physical books if it seems up your alley, because that's definitely my preferred way to read it.

I remember some of reading Vattu over a decade ago after Order of Tales had finished, and while it fell off my radar, I read all four books in one go. Unbelievably ambitious, gorgeously inked and colored, I'm ready to re-read it. The world, like all of Dahm's books, is solidly built and full of rich detail but Vattu herself grounds the fantastic world. I want to give little away - the story unfolds best on its own, but zeros in on colonial violence as it happens to the smallest and most vulnerable people. Crumbling empires stretched to their edges, histories that serve the living but not the truth, alienation of oneself in hand with the desire to understand the other - these books are bigger than you might assume. What a pleasure to read it all at once, and again a week later, when it was published page by page a decade ago. I can't recommend it enough.

Obviously, I don't own the actual physical copy. I'm using this as a place holder for the webcomic, since I've now read to page 892, and am caught up. Still, physical book or no, READ THIS SERIES. Hyperlink below to check out the Rice Boy website!
