I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
So, after Revolution and Optimus Prime, I was dreading reading this. Just dreading it. Given how the tone in OP changed, I was fearful IDW had forced Roberts into some changes that I wouldn't like, changes that would affect the dynamics and hobble the storytelling.
Was I wrong.
The feel is exactly the same, and someone has said that this is effectively MTMtE season three on LibraryThing. Yes, exactly.
Still, there are some massive changes. Ones that would be spoilers, so you're welcome, Jessica. Because this is amazing and I expect you to get to this. Because amazing. Amazing. You must has.
