It’s all change in the leadership of both the Keepers and the Seekers, revelations fly about various characters, a deadly secret exposed leads to the annihilation of Switzerland, and there’s a traitor in the Keepers’ ranks - but who is it? Also, discover Caspar’s cosmic origins and Canto’s sad backstory, all in Seven Secrets, Volume 2!
Tom Taylor and Daniele Di Nicuolo’s follow-up to their middling first book wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. Taylor throws in more than a few twists and turns though they’ll only really mean anything to the reader so long as you care a great deal about the characters and I found out that I didn’t much care - at all.
As for the story itself, it’s simply more cat and mouse chasing that was in the first book, which is played out at this point, with the occasional bit of flashback storytelling that built up a couple of characters though, again, if you don’t really care about them then it’s not gonna mean much to you.
Di Nicuolo’s manga-esque art is pretty good and I enjoyed the scene where the traitor was revealed, but generally I was bored with this weak second volume and don’t think I’ll bother keeping up with this series going forward.
