Completing the story and bringing this tale to an end.
This final issue squeezes quite a lot in, with battles of various sorts, Tamara's family and faith and a possible new ruler.
The action first - the fighting works really well. Combining magic and claws to the same extent (and later, other weapons) The way they are laid out works well, with only a couple of confusing aspects and angles.
There is a good middle section, where things are a little calmer - these feature recovery and a look at faith. This is an interesting aspect and one that I didn't expect. Nevertheless, it makes the final fight more even, with some good points and counter-points being made.
This was an interesting mini-series, experimenting with something new away from the the Grimm Universe.
