“Saudade” by Silent Ravyn
Saudade, a Portuguese word, envelops the complex emotions found in loss, solitude, anticipation, and hope. In this volume of Allasso, this forlorn feeling lies prevalent in many characters’ minds. Some may feel it when losing a loved one; others feel it after exhilarating experiences. A few even feel it with completely imagined memories.
After all, this feeling of saudade pervades all of our lives.

Angelo by Tsai Wolf
Yep…definitely a stronger offering than the first issue overall, though I don’t see anything quiiiiiiiiiiiiite as good as “Best of Breed” a couple of these are approaching that level. The quality of the material is much more consistent throughout. I’m sure this will be well-received.
