Re-read 2019
Just like after re-reading the 1st volume, I was able to pick up more this go around, and upped it by a star. I don't know why I didn't love this more than the 1st volume, the first go around, but I definitely did this time! Seriously, what was I thinking? This volume is more intriguing, allows for a deeper connection with the characters and has pirates!

Why did I love it less???

I don't know, but I don't now.


I can't talk to the plot since this is the second volume, but it's definitely an excellent continuation of the story. I didn't love it quite as much as the first volume (even though there were pirates and that makes everything AWESOME).

This journey felt necessary, and I think volume 3 is going to be epic because of it, but this one felt like something was missing. And I know it's because of the ending and it felt like nothing got resolved and yada yada yada but still, it seemed like we could've been given more and weren't in this story.

I'm definitely looking forward to the third volume and am expecting it to be another roller coaster of pure spectacular storytelling and artwork.

Can't wait.
