Sleepless volume 2

Today’s post is on Sleepless volume 2 by Sarah Vaughan, Leila Del Duca, Alissa Sallah; illustrated by Leila Del Duca, Alissa Sallah. It is 142 pages long and is published by Image Comics. The cover has Poppy and Cyrenic sleeping with Bini between them. The intended reader is someone who has read the first volume. There is some mild foul language, no sex, and some violence in this volume. The story is told from third person close of Poppy and Cyrenic. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the blurb on Hoopla - Nearly a year later in the court of Harbeny, Lady Poppy and Sir Cyrenic must forge ahead without each other. Cyrenic adjusts to life after being released from the Sleepless Vow. And though the future looks bleak, both Poppy and Cyrenic are fighters. Either they will claw their way out of the darkness, or take as many enemies with them as they can. This second volume of SLEEPLESS concludes the story of Poppy and Cyrenic.

Review- For all the built-up on the first volume of Sleepless everything comes to head very quickly in the final volume. All the story threads come together very neatly and the ending is quite satisfying. Poppy and Cyrenic have had a lot happen to them and they have to survive the last bit of it. We start a year after the last volume with Cyrenic waking up and Poppy getting engaged to Lord Helder. Cyrenic is very unhappy with Poppy for releasing from his sleepless vow to her. Poppy is hurt that he does not understand why she did it and Lord Helder is still planning to kill Poppy. After the wedding is when everything just explodes. I really enjoyed this series, I liked the art work, the story was engaging, and the world was vibrant. I hope that the authors and artists work together again as they created something very special. I would recommend this graphic novels series.

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this graphic novel from my local library’s Hoopla account.
