I enjoyed volume 1 for its great art and some great opening issues but felt the 2nd half lacking. This one is luckily better but still a couple of issues.

We have our hero in the last volume almost kill everyone at the carnival. Luckily he calms down but is then exhiled from the camp. He wants to be alone but of course his trusty fox friend won't let that happen. So together they travel the lands once more to find the answers they need. In doing so they meet the boys grandfather, be he isn't what he seems.

I really enjoy the overall themes here. Anger, loss, abandonment, it's all told really well. Our hero, Abel, is on the verge of losing it all the time. But funny enough it's when he faces a person like his father or even grandfather that you see the difference in anger and disrespect. There's still time, and hope, for our boy to grow decent. I also liked the stuff with Abel's father here. The only thing I didn't love was again, the side characters. Especially the carnival people. None are interesting.

Overall, with a deeper focus on Abel and him growing, it helped makes this volume even better than the first. Also, the art is top notch. A 4 out of 5.
