Comments: Briar and Spider have made friends with the cranes both can speak to the birds. The cranes have brought these two back together as friends. So now they are just stuck in this god-awful prison with a sadist warden.
Roof is tired and fed up with his captures and Captain Bly sees him regain his pride. Roof steps up and becomes a man.
Briar and Spider have a plan as well. The cranes figure into it in ways that will surprise. The cranes are a nice touch to this issue, especially how they are used.
Grendrid is still following Briar Rose. Grendrid has powerful magic. Briar though is coming after her and Briar has gotten back some of her fighting attitude. She fights to not sleep and she fights to live. This hope is what she has needed.
Spider and Briar’s relationship steps up. They were hating each other. Then back to friends and now something else.
This issue delivered some action, some drama, and character development.
