While the first graphic novel was so exciting and full of action, this sequel was much more contemplative and had quite a lot of depth. We really get to know a lot about Andy's past and how she has had to survive for millennia, and how that has changed her heart. Her story, especially after being reunited with Noriko and her reaction to it really broke my heart. Her loneliness and particularly the last scene really hit me hard. Noriko on the other hand is hardened by her experiences and is ready to burn it all down - and frankly when you listen to the points she makes, it almost makes you wanna believe her.
The art style was interesting as usual, and I particularly loved the ancient war panels and the one's on the water. All the stabbing scenes looked pretty cool too (never thought I'd say that lol
I think I enjoyed to visual art better than the first as there wasn't as many battle scenes to confuse my brain. I also liked the greyness of the motives and personalities; not so black and white. Which is why I also like [a:Elmore Leonard 12940 Elmore Leonard https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1240015224p2/12940.jpg].
