Cosmoknights Vol. 2 is as fun as the first. Here Hannah Templar expands on her worldbuilding as we begin to grasp the complexities of the political landscape of the galaxy. But what ties it all together is our wonderful set of characters.

In this volume we see a lot more strife for our girls. Cass and Bee are at their wits ends with each other as they struggle to accommodate new members into their crew. There's brewing animosity between Kate and recently saved (or kidnapped) princess Scottie. And Pan is stewing in guilt over the uncertain fate of the princess she rescued years ago.

Templer teases out these threads of conflict really well throughout the volume. While the fighting between characters could become tedious Templer knows how to play people's different energies well against each other and that conflict ultimately brings our crew closer together and feeling more like a family than before. 

I'd say my only critique is not much was covered in this volume. Our primary antagonistic force in this volume while cool and tied into character arcs pretty well wasn't very connected to the princess problem introduced in the series. In terms of overarching plot development our story hasn't moved much. And while the character interactions were stellar I'm hoping future volume see our leads taking more decisive action.  

Overall the character interactions were consistently engaging and between that and the ever stunning art Cosmoknights continued to be a delightful breezy read. Fingers crossed for a new volume sooner rather than later.
