3.0 out of 5 stars
Marvelous series ends with a whimper,
This review is from: Emma, Vol. 7 (Paperback)
This gorgeously drawn series comes to a rather abrupt conclusion. Emma is kidnapped and sent off to America, but William tracks her down. This is portrayed so abruptly that she may as well of just been hiding in the basement. Other problems arise, but frankly it seems that the focus of this last volume is just to get things over with. Emma & William may find happiness at some point, but this whole volume seems rushed. I was very disappointed with this volume in comparison to the earlier ones.

This review is from: Emma, Vol. 7 (Paperback)
Volume 5
The backstory of William's parents is filled out in the first chapter of this volume, and then we are returned to the present and the aftermath of William and Emma's surprise meeting. The storytelling seemed a bit choppy in this volume, but the art was as beautiful as ever. Volume 7 This volume is longer than the previous ones, but still reads quickly. The art seemed even more gorgeous than usual, but the most important aspect was the conclusion of Emma and William's story. There were some times in this volume that the story skipped over what must have been days or sometimes even weeks, but then again it was rather long as it was, so maybe that was necessary. It definitely didn't confuse or very much harm the story, the way the jumps in the narrative did in Volume 5. It may seem odd--and frustrating to some readers--that their story ends at the very beginning of their life together, but I think that's a nice way of letting us picture our own happily ever after. After reading this volume, and mostly after seeing the art, I definitely intend to buy it. I want to admire it at much greater length.
