2023 reread:
Still such a fun installment with good pacing and some character backstories. Loved seeing Percy and Pike appear on the scene.

Love the second installment even more than the first (in part because I've already gotten a good sense of the characters and world). 

As always the art was stunning and the humour excellent. The pacing was good and even splitting up to search for clues (or ritual items) didn't end in complete disaster. 

Percy and Pike are my new faves and I'm so upset I was denied them in the first volume! Looking forward to more volumes with the full cast now.
