 Not Linus with the crackhead withdrawals haha. Lucy is utterly insufferable in this iteration. But I think the humor and writing were fresh and modern while still maintaining the Peanuts charm.

I had some lackluster feelings about this series, but I actually liked the ending though it's not what you would usually expect. 

it's a downer--almost depressing. the good guys don't really win. if they can survive mental torture and a body in limbo, then maybe they'll make it out in the end. who knows
mysterious medium-paced

Much more engaging than the first book though it's nothing I haven't seen before. The coloring's still muddy.

And does anyone else notice these books have a weird smell? I really think it's the way the book is printed. The first book had the same unpleasant smell as well.

DID NOT FINISH: 69%

I love the aesthetic, but the characters were boring. Very early on, I found the story couldn't keep my interest. I don't mind low-stakes stories, but the pacing and characters contributed to my disinterest. 

Despite that, I adored how supportive Clara’s dad was; what a sweet man! I thought the whole flower disease and the inclusion of flower language were very imaginative too. Of course, I loved the cover.
informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

 So, this basically compiled both volumes of Shuri's solo run.

For my review on the volume2/latter half:
