The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'rygoth by Kurtis J. Wiebe

"This booze-soaked second volume of RAT QUEENS reveals a growing menace within the very walls of Palisade. And while Dee may have run from her past, the bloated, blood-feasting sky god N'rygoth never really lets his children stray too far" -- Publisher's website.

So this volume pick up right after the ending of the previous one and for me it was a little hard to remember what happened at first.

There's a lot of time—too much for my liking—spent on backstories of the main characters. And I didn't really care about their past. maybe because it was too detailed or because I read the first volume a year ago. Also I always don't like when the villain spends most of the time just talking about their plan or issues or ways of vengeance. It's just boring.

The art is still good. So read it if you're a big fan of the first volume, I guess.

I would give this 3.5 stars. Not as good as #1 but still fun

who needs to be productive, not me obviously!

Story
Maybe not quite as good as the first volume, but awfully close! Everyone should read Rat Queens. This is especially true for any D&D/RPG players out there.

The story is excellent, the humor is hilarious, the action is fun and the characters are memorable. This is true not only of the Rat Queens themselves, but also the supporting cast. Betty continues to be my favorite though. She always makes me smile.

I think the highlight of this volume is insights into the backstory of 3 of the Queens. There is some really great character development in the form of flashbacks.

Overall this is a ton of fun, and I can't wait for the next volume!

Artwork
It's been a bit since I read volume 1, but the artwork isn't quite as good here. Either way, it's still pretty good, just noticeable that the artist changed.

Given my understanding of the issues with the previous artist, I can totally understand the change though. I'm sure it won't take long for me to get used to the slight changes in style as this series goes on.
