The updates for this book were the highlight of my week. Serial Box right now is doing a great job with Marvel property on this medium, I think I’m going to jump onto the Jessica Jones ‘Playing with Fire’ train.

I just love this story so. much. Everything was so well thought out, no corner cutting to be seen. Allen Holt, in my opinion, is the best kind of villain. The logic that to save the human race he must eliminate a percentage of it strikes similarly with Thanos, who ask did not understand that the ends do not justify the means. The way Holt’s corporation had weaved its way across the world was sinister and having the characters of Kesha, Maria etc really solidified its threat. Sometimes when you don’t know anyone related to the protagonist the threat will affect directly, it’s difficult to comprehend the scope.
I also liked how the book started with Viscose, and ended with Viscose, really coming full circle.

And of course, the Bucky/Natasha content. I love them so much, and I feel this story did a great job of nailing down the parameters of their relationship, with memories of the Red Room and the tension and mixed feelings that neither know how to express. The Geneva episode was everything. Personally, I was really holding out for some kind of confession/kiss scene in the final chapter, but I understand why it didn’t happen. He did sneak into her hospital room to see her, despite the fact that he should be arrested on sight, and make her borscht, so I crown those gestures the height of romance.

The fact that after every episode it would say ‘season 1, episode...’ is what’s giving me hope for another adventure.
