literally took me 40 minutes and it was full of happiness and then scared for the characters. I have read this before but I needed to reread it because I actually want to finish the series this time instead of read the first 3 and not finish. It was more enjoyed when I first read it but I still love it and am absolutely going to finish the series and read the chapter book

Once more I am pulled more into this than I was the book, I may even pick up the novel again and read the rest of the series, and it picks up where it left off in the first volume.
Max is learning more about herself and is starting to wonder secretly who she is as a voice begins to lead her further on her way. Everyone is finding pieces of themselves and finding out what they can do, but Max still wonders.

Let's start things off by introducing the volume this way: If you read the first volume and picked up this one, you've probably already made your decision about whether or not you're going to continue reading this series, since the first volume had possibly the weakest start to any book or manga I've ever read.
That being said, all my criticisms from the last volume still hold out strong in this one as well. There is no real change to anything in this volume besides a continuation of the simple plot with a few minor complexities and details thrown in to add some development of storyline. However, besides those few developments, minor and simple as they were, not much else takes place that's noteworthy. The plot doesn't beg to be mulled over, the characters are simple and two-dimensional (and the only reason I might have hesitated to say so is because I actually enjoy every character we've met so far), and there's no depth to the stale writing.
The unfortunate part about this series is that, try though it might to keep you interested, the dialogue and characters are simply not memorable. You will walk away from this manga without being personally engaged or feeling any sort of connection to these characters. The concept is interesting and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous. NaRae Lee truly does an amazing job. But that's not enough in most cases to keep a person interested.
I keep reading this out of personal choice. But if you're not a fan of James Patterson's works or looking for a light, swift, and uninvolved read, then it's probably a better idea to pass this one by.
There's nothing wrong with the manga, but it's definitely not up to the standards of what most stories have to offer. With that in mind, if you find it dull, put it aside and read something else. Once I read the actual books I might end up revisiting this series and finding some more quality out of them then perhaps. The same might be advised for you, readers.

I forgot to mention, the art is incredible. Especially the colored introductory pages in the volume. I am slowly remembering the storyline and it’s so wild. Though some parts I’m like “ok” because it’s just not quite a read-the-room moment but it’s for the ~ drama ~.
