Oh, I think I liked this one better than the first one! That Damien and Will storyline just got to me. And it felt like the stakes were really upped here, even if the plot is difficult to follow at some points. With that cliffhanger ending, though, I'm definitely glad I also checked out volume three!

The art style is still fun, I love the overall vibes it gives off. There are also a lot of fairytale elements sort of woven into the story, but they take a different path than you might expect. All in all, this is just a fun series and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

***It's hard for me to review Hooky in volumes, since I first fell in love with the Webtoon and think of it as a long continuous story. My review of Volume 3 will be the most comprehensive as a result!***

As much as I love Hooky as a whole, I do think Volume 2 suffers from middle book syndrome. It's so hard to see Dorian and Dani grow apart and this volume also features my least favorite arc in the series:
the nightmare house
. There's also a lot here that's just setting up the central conflict in the final book, which needs to happen but doesn't make for the most interesting reading. 

Regardless, I still love these characters and their magical shenanigans! (Plus, there's so much romantic drama in this book since they've all gotten a bit older.) This just isn't my favorite chunk of the series, and I recommend having Volume 3 handy so you can start reading it as soon as you're done with Volume 2.

It was so good! The plot was plotting, I read it in like 2 days.
omg I’m going to die about Monica and Dorian, they are so perfect. Also if Damien and William don’t kiss I’ll be so mad…. I’m worried about Dani because she thinks Dorian is dead and I think her evil magic is going to take her over

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

This was so cute, adventurous, fun, amazing, wonderful, omg, please read this. I loved Hooky Volume 1, and Volume 2 was even better. 

I love how the relationships developed and how we got to see more about Damien. 

And Dorian asking Monica to wait for him has me in tears, it’s fine.
 

These kids are incredible. I can’t wait for more!

Some of the dialogue felt a bit stiff, and there are too many characters to keep track of. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with this series, though the end of this volume leaves a lot unresolved.
