I continue to enjoy this revival series from Black Horse. In this second volume, we still see a young Conan. Sure, he is quite the thief and very cunning, but he is still fairly inexperienced and learning fast. So, I find it interesting to find how Conan evolves over time. In this volume, he meets Janissa the Widowmaker, an assassin who works for the Bone Woman, and he makes a new enemy in Thoth Amon, the sorcerer. Conan enjoys life to the fullest, but he also has to rely on his cunning and smarts to overcome obstacles. From possibly being framed for a murder he did not commit to facing the dark sorcerer, Conan stands strong. If you like this character and his stories, you will enjoy this volume. It is clear the publisher takes good care of Howard's creation, and the art works very well with the series as well, capturing the environment nicely. Overall, very good work. I will continue reading this series.

I am swiftly falling irrevocably in love with Conan stories, in whatever medium they arrive in.

★★★★ (Great)

Briefly speaking, this was as good as The Frost Giant's Daughter. An intriguing and fun-to-read story, amazing world-building, fascinating characters, and awesome artwork.

Frankly, I cannot ask for more. I can't wait to read the next chapter.

p.s. I hope we get to see Janissa the Widowmaker again soon.
