It was better than the first volume - the art is of course phenomenal, and there was more backstory, but it's strange how everything seems to happen so fast. Aphrodite's love for Marcus came and went at the speed of light, and I struggled to give a shit about the conflict between the gens and the cyborgs. It's a very strange book.

Quite a few things changed in comparison two volume 1 but I'm still not sure how to feel about this book. Sejic changed his drawing style to the way he's recognized for today in Sunstone etc. Moreover, on the one hand, the outfits for the women are less pin up, but early on there's a nude scene which is rather unnecessary. However, there are also quite a few topless male characters this time.

the story itself in a way zooms out of the conflict between the bioengineered and the cyborg people and reveals a lot about the time before and what's behind Aphrodite's origin. It's not mindblowing stuff but a lot of interesting topics in there. Like in the first volume there's a knowledge base in the back of the book, which is something I like.
