Here's another good issue of this title. In this issue, we check in with Blythe, who makes her first solo flight to Air One, where she runs in to the Gypsy guy she met a little while ago. As is a recurring theme in this title, he obviously wants something from her, and as usual, she's a little clueless.

This is actually one of the things I find refreshing about this title. Blythe, as the protagonist, is really just reacting to events over and over again. It is rare to find a series based on a female character like this to begin with, but even more rare to then portray her in such a state of prolonged confusion. It makes her seem a lot more real.

I like the cover to this issue as well. As this is largely a series about symbols, it makes sense that the cover doesn't accurately give an idea of what is going on in the book, but instead uses imagery to suggest what is happening at a thematic level.
