Gertrude wants to get back home and she is still stuck in fairyland (after like 30 yrs). She is trying everything possible to get back home. This volume was even more silly compared to the first volume. Also it was pretty boring and not that funny. It is funny in parts but the story as such isn't strong. The main character is interesting with her psychopath attitude. Just like Happy enters fairyland in the previous volume, a boy dressed as a dragon enters fairyland in this volume.
The artwork is really good especially the point where we see the art style switching to video game format. I was quite impressed with the artwork.

This was just as artsy, colorful, and gory as the first volume and I enjoyed every second of it. Gert, Larry, and the rest of the characters were still great. The plot itself was somewhat lacking, which is the only reason while it’s getting 4 stars instead of 5.

I enjoyed the first volume more, probably because it was unexpected, but this was definitely as dark a subject with primary cute colors. Like my dark soul under a cheerful smile this whole thing speaks to me ...

Whilst this was an enjoyable read overall, it lacked the hilarity and puns of the first volume. This second volume was a lot more bloody and I think it was just for gore's sake.
I would say issues 6-8 were great fun, I loved the plot, the pace, the cool illustrations of them entering video game world, Duncan the Dragon (he was pretty cute), but the final two issues were...well really not that interesting or fun. The ending was pretty anticlimactic too and I feel this is going to be a series which will tire and run out of steam very quickly.
I also find it a bit ironic how in the first volume we end on seeing Gertrude become Queen of Fairyland and yet, at the end of the first issue in this second volume, she is denounced as Queen and starts a new quest to return home. I think the author realised that Gertrude being Queen was a bad decision and not half as much fun as he originally anticipated.
The illustrations really made this volume though - they are pretty wonderful and full of all the colours of the rainbow but if you want a great story, then sadly, this isn't it.

Ok I loved Duncan, and I loved the variant covers at the end, ugh I don't want to wait all the way til this fall for the next trade now.
