4.0

This is a third volume of Villains Are Destined to Die graphic novels and I still can't believe I almost never started reading these just because it was unclear who the love interest was and because it's young adult.

I'm getting more and more sure that I want Penelope and Callisto to end up together. They finally meet again at the hunting tournament and I was excited about that small meeting than any moments with other 'love interest' we have had so far. I also am confused there's a reason he glows to her. They have only met twice and he's already more protective of her than her adoptive brothers.

Talking about said adoptive brothers-- I have no idea what to feel about them. At the same time I hate them and like them. They can be such jerks but at times they can be nice too. I loved the scene where Penelope was able to tell Reynold off for making her the enemy since she was a kid. I really enjoyed Penelope's scenes with all of his family in this volume, especially with Duke. I feel like those two could have such an amazing relationship.

All in all I absolutely want Penelope and Callisto end up together and this volume was so much better than the third one. I really liked the moments Penelope had with her family and I loved the reunion with Penelope and Callisto. I hope the next volume have more of them and less Eckles even if I found them shopping together kind of cute.
