Sera and the Royal Stars Vol. 2 by Jon Tsuei

4.0

“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!

I received an e-book copy in exchange for an honest review via Diamond Comic Distributors.
