Bloodborne: A Song of Crows volume 3


45150997

Today’s post is on Bloodborne: A Song of Crows volume 3 by Aleš Kot, illustrated by Piotr Kowalksi, Brad Simpson.  It is 34 pages long and is published by Titan Comics. The cover has Elieen in the center in her full hunting garb. The intended reader is someone who has read the first two volumes and is interested in learning about the world of Bloodborne. The story closely follows the main character Elieen. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild images of violence in this volume. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the blurb on Hoopla- The city of Yharnam: an ancient, gothic metropolis and the home to the Healing Chruch.
Recent days have seen the city fall foul to a nightmarish plague known as the Ashen Blood disease, the source of which remains a mystery.
In a world of gods and monsters, sanity is merely subjective, and fear and blood are sanctified.
Hunters now stalk the streets in search of beasts as the moon hangs ominously low in Yharnam's sky.
But as uncertainty fills the air, and the thirst for blood becomes insatiable, the hunters become the hunted.
Review- This is an almost textless volume; the only words are at the very end. Everything else is just images. Elieen fighting, losing, and seeing many things that make a great impact on her. Elieen, like everyone else in Yharnam, is dealing with many odd and extra-ordinary things and is trying to make sense what is happening to her. She is seeing her past and it is interfering with her present and that is very dangerous. She encounters one of the bosses from the game Rom and it looks like Rom saves her from death but it is not very clear if it is real or not. I hope to get some answers in the what I think will be the last volume but we shall see.

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic using my local library's Hoopla account.
