Sometimes the biggest to a family isn't from outside of it. In this volume we have a conflict rising between Alana and Marko as little Hazel becomes a toddler. From parenting techniques, to personal choices, to how much each parent thinks they are or are not contributing to the household etc. While this is going on there's a new robot princeling born but there are plans for that child's fate as well. The adversaries from outside the family unit start to close in here too. I'm really starting to think this series can do no wrong. The family drama is tight and real without being soap opera level melodramatic and you really feel for both Alana being overworked but loving her life outside of the family and Marko feeling tempted by Hazel's dance teacher and just bored and useless around the house. The art continues to be amazingly first rate and I love the image of the robot king - both jaw dropping and also an "of course that's him" moment.
