Does anyone else have feelings on the ending for “To Break a Thief?”

I can’t really say that I’m particularly surprised, especially since Sleepy was working on this before their hiatus, and probably already had the ending decided by that point. However, I have to say I am a little disappointed. I just feel like Evie and Violet getting off without a problem and coming away with an unambiguous victory is getting a bit old at this point.

I’m sure that this is just a midpoint of the story, like Empire Strikes Back, where it leaves our “hero” in a precarious spot, but this was a feeling I had with alot of Sleepy’s pre-hiatus serialized work. I know that was part of the reason they took time off, and I hope that it was restful and helped them figure out their mental, but I’m hoping that later entries in their series will be a bit less generous to our dastardly duo. I want some drama with my smut!

But obviously, story gripes aside, the art is still great and the set pieces are absolutely delightful. Fun finale to what ended up being something of a transitional point for the story. Can’t wait to see whats next!
