The Autumnlands, Volume 2: Woodland Creatures by Kurt Busiek
4.0
A solid second volume in a (so far) awesome fantasy series. This one follows Learoyd and Dusty in the aftermath of the events in volume one. We get a lot more world building here, and the focus on just the two characters means there is a bit more time for character development.
While this extra time getting to know the main characters is great, it also means we get almost nothing on any of the other characters from volume one. What's happening with the other survivors of the crash? What is Seven-Scars going to do now? It feels like the moved on to some completely new story arcs, without properly tying off the old ones. I'm sure these will get attention in later volumes, but it would have been nice to get a bit more of a look-in at the other factions.
That small gripe aside, I really enjoyed this volume and I am chomping at the bit for volume 3.
Tidbits: Sheep village, and Learoyd's stupid helmet.
