The next step in the story has Bridgebell seeking the white carrot she recalls from her childhood: is it a myth or is it real? Can it save the cottons?
There is a lot to unpack, so let's just say that there are wolves and cottons with schemes for power. It's a race to see who will ultimately win.

More coherent and closer to a character than the first volume, but the art, while beautiful, doesn't draw me in. Something about the facial expressions feels mildly off.

Plot - 3 stars
Illustrations - 4 stars
Overall - 3.5 stars
As the plot deepens it is also becoming more and more confusing. I feel that some of the chapters are so quick and sparatic and it's a bit jarring at times. I would have liked the chapters fleshed out more. I believe that things have been left confusing so it can all be tired together in the 3rd and final volume. I hope it comes together in a clever way.
I really like the illustrations, they look great and the magical visuals are stunning.

A rabbit makes carrot art while her fluffle struggles with low food production. A fox tries to find the Black Sun to raise a bad guy as revenge for killing his daughter?
I wanted to give this author a second chance. I was a little disappointed. Overall, I struggled with the book feeling like it dropped me into the middle of something. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it felt like I'd missed important bits. I wanted to find my way in this series and there is supposed to be a third, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it.
I don't mind putting something down as not for me.

For a 270 page graphic novel technically written for kids, book 2 of the Cottons trilogy has a rich story with so much world building, you find yourself wanting more. I almost wish this was a actual novel, with more text so I could learn more about the Cottons and the Foxes and their societies and histories.
My only nitpick is still that I have a hard time telling some of the rabbits apart...that or there is a rabbit that has multiple names, which might be why I was confused. This is what happens when you read before bedtime I guess!
Anyway, if you like rich fantasy worlds, this is a series to pick up.

Still enjoying this series. A lot happened in this book and I think the fast pacing made it difficult to really focus on some key plot points and elements. Still, I’m having fun and will be patiently waiting for the next one.
