it was a really good call to have the story focus on Arlinn. the last couple stories have bloated the stakes so much that you just can't make you care in only five chapters, but by having the stakes directly and personally relate to one character, you give yourself a focal point. Everything you learn about the world, the threat, the people, is through the eyes of Arlinn Kord. I will say, though, it's hard to watch Wizards be like "See guys, Chandra is gay again. Didn't you want that?" as if the whole reason people were pissed wasn't that they ruined her relationship with Nissa. I don't care if Chandra is drooling over the pretty church knight woman, why tf is she not talking to Nissa anymore. Regardless, this is a dual-set block, so part two finishes in Innistrad: Crimson Vow.

Midnight Hunt is a pretty 1/2 of a story (it's pretty obviously meant to be paired with Crimson Vow, considering it leaves off on a cliffhanger and the plot/cast of characters is, to my knowledge, pretty much the same). Surprisingly, a couple of the side stories were actually my favorites: , a mystery about how the summoning of a protector spirit went terribly wrong, and The Dance of Undeath, a hilarious back and forth between Gisa and her brother.

A fun lore driven story about werewolves and the backgrounds of Arlinn, Tovlar and others that were really the forefront of this set. I don't believe the story was completed in here and I believe we will see more in future sets but the background setting and the setting of the world of innistrad made this story a win in my book.

A story so good, they had to split it in two parts. I once again find myself wondering how much these stories could have shone if they hadn't been limited to only five episodes...
