Comments: Giaris and Leonidas are home and plan to take back the castle and throne from Queen Regent Aurelia.
Giaris is befriended by a family of Spartans and it is emotional watching as a child a young girl has faith in her.
Queen Regent Aurelia shows how she feels about her son. He is a worthless sack of you know what, a pitiful excuse of a man.
Giaris and Leonidas must fight their way through Spartan soldiers and without killing their fellow Spartans. There is some bloodshed just not a lot. Queen Regent Aurelia is fighting back using her gifts and her control. She wants to be Queen and will let no one take that away.
Giaris and Leonidas do work so well together. There is not a lot of fighting here just enough to make this issue exciting. The two of them do inspire loyalty to each other and Sparta.
The art is so gorgeously done and the poses are not poses just people drawn as they would be in realistic real-life stances. Yes the males are muscular and the women beautiful but they are still within real-life appearances.
Giaris is one of the strongest, toughest women of Sparta. She is a true Spartan Warrior Princess.
