I'm also really enjoying the secondary plotline around Adrienne's brother Devin and his quest to find out what happened with his mother ( aka, the Black Knight, though no one knows it and it hasn't been confirmed in the story, but it's 100% obvious. There's also a great scene with Bedelia and her grandfather where she comes out as a blacksmith, since it's the realm of men in dwarven society and women were banned from smithing. The rest of the volume has Adrienne and Bedelia entering the land of the dwarves and cultural misconceptions regarding Sparky, since dwarves apparently don't like dragons. Great commentary and much needed for those black girls reading this who want perfect "princess" hair like in the movies. Whitley is at top form with his the first issue focusing on Adrienne's trials with her untameable hair, which A++. Instead, it's part one of a larger arc with multiple threads. Unlike previous volumes, this is not a full story-arc.
