Summary:

Twilight is a master spy. By their nature, spies cannot be famous. But Twilight is as close as they come to being famous for his career. He's the go-to agent for tough jobs, so he's been given a new assignment that might be above his capabilities. Said new job requires him to have a family. The perfect family.

Now that Twilight has his family, he has to find a way to get his new daughter into the prestigious Eden Academy. Little does he know the treasure in his hands. Anya is determined to support her spy father however she can.

Review:

Awww, Anya is so adorable. I would read this whole series just for her. The fact that I happen to love Yor and Twilight is only a bonus, as far as I'm concerned.

Spy x Family Vol. 2 is a great addition to the series, building upon the first volume. The new family is still trying to make things work (even if only two of the three understand the actual mission at hand). I wonder how long it will be before their true identities are outed to one another?

On that note, several new complications are thrown into the mix, keeping the story interesting. I think the thing I loved the most, though, would be the small moments between the action - moments when the characters had a chance to bond. It's sweet, and I want more of it. Crossing my fingers for volume 3!

4.5

*Thank you Viz Media and NetGalley for the review copy.

The first volume took me by surprise with how much I truly enjoyed it, but the plotline and family dynamic was just too good. I'm happy to say that I found Volume 2 to be just as strong as the first. We see more of the plan that Twilight set into motion come to fruition and now we have even more hurdles to overcome, like school work and making friends!

There were so many little wholesome moments mixed in with the ridiculous that I was either smiling constantly or actually laughing out loud. If you haven't had a chance to check out volume one, I really recommend giving it a shot! I know I'll definitely pick up of a physical copy of this when it drops in September.
