Interesting story. Faulkner reminds me of my baby boy Jem from The Infernal Devices, so I will continue.

I read the five volumes of The Phoenix Requiem in one go, and will review them in one go. My thoughts: A very beautifully illustrated fantasy graphic novel with an intriguing story which started well and kept me reading, but left me feeling a bit confused and let down by the end of it.

While not as slow as the first volume, The Phoenix Requiem Volume Two builds on the story of Vol 1 steadily. Personally, I would have preferred to see some battle scenes between the humans and Hellions and/or Shades. I want to know more about Jonas. Why did the spirit say "He is like us"? Is Anya's theory about magic being the underlying cause of the plague correct? What is the connection between the museum curator and Jonas? Would Robyn and Petria find a way to fight and defeat the Shades? Whose name did Armand find in the museum archive? I admit to being intrigued by all these questions! Third volume, here I come!

There isn't much that I can say that I hadn't already covered in the first review. The artwork is gorgeous. It really encourages me to grab a pad and pencil and start drawing, if only I could. The story continues with more mysterious shades, decaying bodies, and heartbreaking realizations. I'm going to make this review short, so I can hurry and begin the third. The plot thickens as more people decay almost instantly after their death. As Anya and Jonas search for answers elsewhere, Robyn and Petria epically defend their home. I am pleased that there was a little bit more action in this volume.
