As the second book in the Nightlights series, I found this installment of the series to be just a tad better than the first. I still think that it's a little bit more whimsical than I prefer; however, the artwork is mind blowing.

Hicotea doesn't necessarily pick up where the first book left off; however, it focuses on a new adventure that Sandy goes on while on a school trip. I think that this one was more enjoyable for me because I understood the importance of the environmental issues that were being addressed. And the characters that Sandy meets along the way were extremely reminiscent of those that a reader would find in Alice in Wonderland. The artwork’s absolutely gorgeous. This color palette choice in this second book was even more enticing than the first. Honestly, if anything I'll continue to read this series solely for the artwork because it's so beautiful.

This is really exquisitely beautiful. Every drawing is a piece of art in itself. The little girl Sandy completely takes you in as she did in part one. Just read this.

The colours are absolutely beautiful throughout and I really enjoyed the movement in the pages to show the progression of the story.
