I didn't love this one as much as the first volume, but the art is still cool.
I wasn't expecting the slight romance inserted into the plot. It didn't make sense or feel necessary.
It also ends in a cliff hanger. I understand that Stella missed Eben and why she made that choice. But I wondered if Eben could be returned to life, whether he would be a regular human or a vampire and whether he would be want that if he came back as a vampire. The ending also feels contradictory to when Dane claims that the vampires can control their bloodlust. Though maybe it'll make more sense in the sequel.

I gave the first volume 3.5 stars because I really enjoyed the art style and premise. So if this was the first 30 Days of Night book I had picked up, I would have felt the same way. It's another well done entry.
But because it was my second volume the novelty had worn off a bit, sorry, 2.5 stars. I would recommend this volume to anyone who wanted more at the end of volume 1, which in retrospect I realize was not me.

Our library hadb't marked that this was a second volume and that's why I've missed the first volume... But I didn't feel like I didn't understand anything because of it. I gave only two stars maybe because this comic is so dark and I'm having trouble finding a favorite character. Even though the characters are somewhat interesting. I'm not sure if I'm all that interested about reading the other volumes.

The story was okay but I don't understand why Lilith didn't start a battle at the house in the final scene and I really don't see how the protagonist became romantically involved with that vampire. It came out of no where. The illustrations were better in this volume but still not my favorite.

Solid, good vampire stuff. Nothing very exceptional, and I think I'm getting tired of this art style, but it was still enjoyable and well done.

So I liked this a lot. So pretty. Fun story.
The movie version A) sucks B) doesn't stay true to it which is a shame.

It's 16 months later and Stella is on a book tour talking for her memoir about the events of the last volume. She's got herself a group of bodyguards that resemble Matrix character rejects.
She's written this book to antagonize vampires. What I liked about the first volume was the vampires showed immense restraint. These were not rabid dogs but a sophisticated organization focused on staying hidden. VOL 1 SPOILERS But I guess Niles decided vampires showing restraint was boring because in this novel they're going full vampire apocalypse.
And yet the authors want to have their cake and eat it too. So, despite the ludicrous amount of destruction and mayhem going on in public places, no one takes any notice.
One scene, in particular, bothered the hell out of me.
One other gripe It's something I would expect from a comedic slasher or a YA romance novel.

Whatever the method vampires use to feed, it is clearly foolproof. The Barrow attack was deemed an unnecessary risk by leadership and the organizer was killed.And yet the authors want to have their cake and eat it too. So, despite the ludicrous amount of destruction and mayhem going on in public places, no one takes any notice.
One scene, in particular, bothered the hell out of me.
Spoiler
In it a crowded speaking engagement turns into a blood bath with innocent bystanders caught between a group of vampires and our heroes with all their guns and bombs. The fight is cut short because cops show up. They immediately decide it's all just a publicity stunt for the book. And we find out that there were no serious wounds. How is that possible, people were shooting guns and vampires were ripping out throats?One other gripe
Spoiler
our hero meets a "nice vampire" (and by nice I mean he doesn't immediately kill her) and within a couple of hours she ends up in bed with him.slipperbunny's review
