Narration During Books Locke & Key, Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom (Locke & Key #4)
Ugh I’m not emotionally prepared for the last two volumes————————————————
THIS VOLUME WAS SO GOOD.
The plot is getting seriously nuts, and I'm terrified and excited to see where things go. I only have two volumes left to read, and I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

Good wintery volume of the Locke & Key graphic novels. I wasnt as fond of this as I was the last one. I found the pacing a little slow and sometimes the plot gets convoluted and confusing - harking back to events that happened 2 volumes ago and never mentioned again until they seem important. However. That twist. I didnt expect it. I didnt see it coming. And it was good. I also do like the added complexity to the story. Its multi faceted, hinting at future events with little Easter eggsFrom 5 stars to 4. I still really enjoyed this but it's slightly less awesome than I remembered.6/16 2014Holy shit with the ending! Why would you do this to me Joe? Why?Wow. Just wow. If you haven't read my review of Volume 1 where I say to pick up this series and read it. Well, I'm saying it again. Read this series.When I first opened Keys to the Kingdom, I wasn't a huge fan of the childlike artwork at first, but it grew on me, and it ended up working really well with the art I'm used to with
Amazing ending! Sort of a cliffhanger, but wow I need to read the next one right away. I've said it before, but I'm saying it again, Joe Hill can fucking write.Aside from the ending, I liked volume 3 more than this. The story continues to develop but it lacked the depth that the last volume had. I am hating the shit out of Zack as the series goes on. The characters are really likable and they continue to grow on you.4.5/5 stars. Still shy of a .5 but it's almost there. I want more keys.
At a close second to my fav of the series, Keys to the Kingdom starts with the introduction of the animal key. This key is awesome, it turns you into an animal by walking through a special door in the courtyard. I would hope I would turn into something cool and useful, like, a raven, but my luck and I would be turned into a turtle. Many new keys were introduced in this volume. I hope we get to see their powers in the show as well!
Hmm, not a whole lot happens in the fourth Locke & Key book: Zack/Dodge is still monotonously hunting for the Omega Key. He targets an old girlfriend of Rendells (the Locke kids dead dad) who recognises him, and he continues to torment Rufus, the son of the woman hes living with. Then its a waiting game until something resembling a plot emerges in the final act. Its not really plot-driven - its not really character-driven either! Locke & Keys story just kinda floats there. Maybe this is
Keys to the Kingdom definitely has the gore factor from the 1st book in the Locke & Key series. A sad death and a death that's well deserved happens in this addition.Joe Hill really brought it all together in Keys to the Kingdom!The plot twist at the end of this Vol. 4 was fantastic! I loved the Calvin and Hobbes feel in the beginning of the book with the artwork.Well done Gabriel Rodriguez on getting the nostalgic feel of that epic comic series! I've really enjoyed this graphic novel series
Funny enough, given that Volume 3 was my favorite of the series so far, Volume 4 was my least favorite. There was a lot of action without dialogue that made it just feel like filler material, as well as some particularly sad events that were a little bit hard to follow through the storyline.One thing I did enjoy about this volume, however, was the opportunity it took to make fun of bigoted, racist assholes. I never get tired of that.Series content warning: violence, sexual assault, homophobia,
