The epic story of neon-coloured sword swinging and gun slinging returns with Joshua Piedra's volume two of the A.R. Dragonfly series! This time with a thrilling tournament (which was hinted at in the end of volume one) and a fight to save Sebastian's store!
In this volume we get exposed to more of Amber’s awkwardness and I have gotten a fondness and a feeling of needing to protect her (damn you Piedra!). We also are introduced to a new main cast member: Lynn Aichner, who seems to be a bundle of social activity, and will probably be a nice force who works against Amber's social anxiety and will hopefully help her cure it in the future. We also get to meet Sebastian's dad, Joshua, some more, and he's a prick, as well as Khaine's handler (whose identity I won't tell because of spoilers)
This volume is packed with action, which is great because Piedra seems to have a talent for writing action scenes. Thanks to the tournament, we get to see Amber fight for real, instead of against plebs or Khaine, which is nice since she sweats a bit in some of the matches, which made the story more exciting. The fighting in this volume also gave me some of the “Oh-my-god-I-wish-I-could-play-this-game-myself” -hype that I got when I read the Sword Art Online light novels for the first time when I was 15, which was awesome, since I love that series.
Some complaints I have though, is that the matches that was before the final felt way too rushed. They were almost over as soon as they started, and considering the structure of the game, this is no surprise, but this could have been circumvented by making each bracket a best-of-three or something, just to add to the thrill some more. This especially concerns the semi final match that could have been s lot more.
Another complaint, or maybe more of a comment would be that the whole premise of “saving the store by winning the tournament” part felt a bit unnecessary. It didn't really add to the suspense or the plot in general, I feel that this could be used a lot better in another context.
In general, awsome, action-packed volume, with nice new characters! I give this volume an 8/10. Looking forward to volume 3!
