Volume 2 seemed to answer a lot of the questions we finished up Volume 1 with. I still feel like things could have been explained better, however I was satisfied with the answers. I love the magic system of the stars, each "Star" character relating to one of the zodiac signs (It was also really cool to see my star sign represented) and I wonder if we will see the rest of the zodiac signs in future volumes, or if this was the end of Sera's story.
Art was beautiful as always, and the story seemed more clear and consistent. I also enjoyed how there was no romantic interest within the story, this gave us time to focus on Sera, her family and her journey.
I received an e-copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This volume ties up loose ends, and I found it satisfying, if not earth shattering. The story in this installment towards more towards the mythical, and the art portrays the epic nature of the quest. I enjoyed seeing the daughters of Parsa reunite. This volume leaves the possibility for an another ongoing/spinoff series. I think that it would be fun to see the adventures and mischief that the daughters of Parsa could get up to in their alluded-to travels.

Do you like She-Ra?
Do you like Girls with Swords?
Then this series is for you, no ifs, ands, or butts. The story and worldbuilding are incredibly interesting. As well as incredibly interesting bad-ass women.

“Life is a series of choices, some good, some bad, but choices nonetheless. At least, that’s what I used to think. The closer I find myself to the eternal, the hazier it all seems. Do our choices really matter or are we simply pulled by the strings of fate?”
It’s only gotten better. Fortunately, the questions I had in the previous volume have been answered and we get to see Sera and the Royal Stars once again. Truth is, she cannot remain still and whether is fate or a mere casualty, she’s bound to these eternal stars.
On the other hand, Sera’s younger sister finds out that their mother was captured and thanks to an older relative, they get out of prison and try to get back to their home town. They meet Sera along the way and then, they fight against the Draconi stars, who believed humans have to pay for their disrespect, their lack of faith.
Previously, the Royal Stars meet with The Seven Sisters of Pleiades, who cannot take action in the battle but who share important information: for them to stop the evil stars from consuming the world, they will have to kill them with a special weapon. But, you see, killing a star means might be led to killing more innocent lives (think of it as a black hole) and at the end, they’ll have to live with the consequences.
Anyway, I fully enjoyed this volume and I just love how diverse all characters are: the humans, the stars, even the bad guys. Antares is still my fav character and the interactions of the Royal Stars make me laugh a lot. I like that we get to see a full cast of powerful female characters, plus, there were entire pages that took my breath away.
Both the story and the art complement each other and I cannot wait to read the third volume!
