There's not much I can say about the plot of this without spoiling the events of the first one and I want everyone to pick this up so I'll just say that it continues to be one of my favorite graphic novel series of all time.
I love the anxiety rep for Bea and how she continues to struggle with her feelings and her fear but always keeps doing the thing and finding the friends to support her. It's the kind of message that I wish I'd had as a kid and I love seeing it.
I also appreciated that this volume feels a little more bittersweet and expands on the lore and the world in a way that left me really intrigued. There's still a grump-sunshine friendship dynamic with Bea and her friend Cad that both leads them in and out of trouble and it's one of my favorite aspects of the series.
If you enjoyed the first volume, definitely pick up this one and if you haven't tried Lightfall and you enjoy fantasy middle grade graphic novels, I highly recommend it! It's got fantastic anxiety rep, adventure, gorgeous art and great friendships!
