🌼 This one was very similar to the first, in pacing and action.
🌼 The illustrations were better than the first book and characters were more interesting.
🌼 I also really enjoyed the fact that we learnt more about the Giants-That-Were (humans) in the past and how they met their downfall.
🌼 Overall an interesting read.

I actually enjoyed this volume more than the first. I think the characters are fleshing out a bit more and making the read more interesting. The artwork is even better in this than the first volume. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes stories like the Secret of NIHM.

A clever and exciting graphic novel of the post-apocalyptic adventures of a group of genetically enhanced hamsters. I mean, already what more could you ask for, but there indeed is more. This book is witty and keeps you guessing, it adds intrigue to old tropes and has so much heart. It’s truly a pleasure to read and made me want more immediately. This is the second installment and so much is falling into place as far as the mystery of what happened and yet I know there’s so much we don’t know. The clues are scattered all over, I know that already from the first book, but this is just so smart and well crafted, I need more.

In Volume 2 of the Underfoot, the Hamster Aquatic Mercenaries team up with the Hamster Airborne Paratroopers and the Hamster All-Terrain Mountaineers to find priceless Giants-That-Were artifacts and uncover Hashak's evil plan to take over the world.

This second volume has excellent artwork, just like the first. Team that with a great plotline and excellent characters and this is a fun, unique graphic novel aimed at a middle-grade audience. I really enjoyed it.

I would recommend this for young readers 7 and up.

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for this Advanced Reader Copy.

Ruby and the rest of the HAM gang Matriach and all were at it once again saving the day. These hampster covert soldiers were en route on another adventure, which was even more dangerous than before. Their adventures are action-packed and filled with excitement. This adventure was as great or even greater than the first.

This one was very similar to the first, in pacing and action. Again, it was so action-packed, it made me keep flipping the pages. I really liked the art style, it's is reminiscent of typical comic book style art. The plot was just as interesting and action-packed. I liked the addition of Hamster Airborne Paratroopers to the Hamster Aquatic Mercenaries. It was a good read.

A fantastic sequel, and what an ending! I really hope there’s going to be more of this. I love Ruby with all my heart and I hope Mac always protects her like the treasure that she is.

the second volume was just as good as the first one, I Love learning there's more hamster groups where each have Their own idea on what happened to the giants. ruby is my fav character. and this left on a cliffhanger so I can not wait till vol 3

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of The Underfoot: Volume 2 - Into the Sun.

I enjoyed the sequel to this! I have sat and read volume one and two back-to-back as I’ve had both from NetGalley to review.

In volume two, we really get to know the hamsters better! This was a great point for me as I did feel like volume one was a little rushed. There was more character development in this volume, and I felt more connected with the hamsters and their story.

As I did with the first volume, I loved the artwork in this graphic novel! I’m in love with the different breeds of hamsters, and they are all so unique and easy to fall in love with.

I also really enjoyed the fact that we learnt more about the Giants-That-Were (humans) in the past and how they met their downfall.

Overall I enjoyed this graphic novel! I love the unique concept of post-apocalyptic, superhero, surviving hamsters with awesome friendships and some kick-ass action.

Another brilliant graphic novel in this series - the illustrations are stunning and I would highly recommend this to my KS3 and KS4 students as an introduction into this genre.

This series is visually stunning! The art is so well done, the coloring so perfect, it has been my favorite part of both volumes. The story line in this second volume I felt was not as strong as the first, but still would recommend to fans of animal centric fantasy a la Redwall.

The second volume picks up where the first left off, developing the story-world in new details and presenting some great new twists and characters to boot. Probably one of the most entertaining sci-fi/kids fantasy series I've read in a long time.

Thank you for the chance to read this book. Unfortunately, this was a DNF for me. I tried, but I could gel with the writing style. This is a shame because I love the art style.

Free ARC from Netgalley.

This is the second volume about the Hamster Aquatic Mercenaries. In this they get a new mission and meets new hamsters.

I loved how we got to see more of the human technology, and how the hamsters use it in this volume. This made it very much more interesting. The art is still really good, and it's really action-packed!

I read The Underfoot Volume 1 and 2 back to back over a week and I really enjoyed both volumes very much. The story is very engaging and the characters are endearing.

Volume 2 picks up shortly after Volume 1. Ruby and Mac are my favorite characters in both volumes. You really see both characters grow more and more. They are both hero’s of H.A.M by the end of the story. You see so much growth in their confidence and their abilities. Ruby shows she’s not as timid as she was in Volume 1 and Mac shows she’s a lot smarter and braver than people give her credit for. You also learn about Macs family and who in H.A.M she’s related to...

I really like seeing the other pups from Ruby and Mac’s class take the next step and become hero’s as well. We see the twins help a lot in the final mission of the story. We also see the return of Beck who has matured a lot since Volume 1. Beck’s story arch is very touching. We get to see a young pup who tries very hard to right their mistakes from Volume 1.

Volume 2 also shows us more about what happened to the Giants-That-Were. We get to learn more about their fate and we get to see more signs of a dystopian world that is outside the world of fur, scale, and wings.

This volume also introduces us to the diabolical new villains, the Scales. They are evil, slimey, manipulative and up to no good. They also have revenge on their minds which makes them very dangerous. The Scales and their allies the Stingers are both very powerful and dangerous.

I really enjoyed reading Volume 2. I highly recommend this book. If you read Volume 1, I’m sure you will want to read Volume 2.

Now I’m excitedly waiting for Volume 3!

Stay awesome and keep reading!

3.5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley I was able to read the upcoming sequel of the lovely Underfoot series.

Into the Sun in the sequel to The Mighty Deep. It’s a great sequel in an very cute and exciting series, The Underfoot. I really enjoy this series and I have fallen in love with the characters. This review I have divided in pros and cons.

Pros
- This time I feel that you get to know the characters even more then in the first book. Even though there are new characters introduced to the story. We still follow the same characters from the first book and they continue to be our main characters. This book however compared t the first one, focusses it a lot more on the character development.
- The friendships is one of my favourite things in this series. They are so heart whelming and cute! Also in this book they are central to the story.
- The drawings are just as great as in the first book and really cute. I love how detailed they are and they really give all the characters their own independent look. This way they are really easy to recognize even though that some of them look alike.
- The story is more complex then the first one and we learn more about different clans of hamsters and their special abilities. The mission is a lot bigger and more difficult then in the first book and this leave less room for action and more room for plotting and figuring things out, before the action starts to happen. You really feel that this is a set up for more and the story progress a little slower then in the first book. Which I didn’t mind, because it gave us more time getting to know the characters and the different clans.
- This story is a lot less violent then the first one, but that also means that there are a lot less action scene.
Cons
- For me this was not perse a con. But it did make me like this one a little less then the first one. The first one has a very nice conclusion and can be read as an standalone. This book however is definitely not a standalone. It does revere to the first one, but not that heavy. It does start a new mission, which is not resolved in this book. The story is more complex and it feels like a set up for more books to follow, the epilogue really supports that idea and also the fact that the enemy is not defeated shows this series is not finished. I did not expect that since I can’t find any information that there will be a third book. I do think there will be, at least I certainly hope so!
I just don’t like it when things are not resolved.

I really love this sequel and I can’t wait to read the third instalment so I can get to know how it ends! Ruby and Mac better be safe!

When I was approved for an ARC of this graphic novel, I was truly intrigued. I purchased the first book and dived right in. All in all I am in love!!

The Underfoot Vol. 2 by Ben Fisher and Emily Whitten is an action packed adventure that doubles on the adventure more than the first book. The best thing about sequels is you get to see your favorite characters grow. Personally, I liked this sequel better than the first one.Because the main plot is still unresolved and leaves us on a big cliffhanger. The world for the H.A.M. members has changed after a dramatic loss in the first book, but the survival of the colony is still priority. The characters are more diverse as we are introduced to new colonies and Hamster groups the universe hence the world got even bigger and we as readers get an even more exciting story. The plot moves fast, with no lagging in the pace, lots of jumps between various involved parties trying to solve the very big hurdles they have to face that just keeps you on your toes.

The story is again entertaining and the illustrations just so good, providing lots of details and emotions. In the second book there are as well even more hamster characters and other animals with great characterization and story line. I highly recommend for anyone that's looking for a light fun read!

I normally do not like anything as much as the first volume in a series, but wow, this was fantastic! All the characters were developed so much more in this volume and the story was really brought to life. I also really like that more groups of hamsters keep popping up. Keeps you on your feet.

The hamsters are back, and they are again amazing, entertaining and lots of fun. The world for the H.A.M. members has changed after a dramatic loss in the first book, but the survival of the colony is still priority. And with the introduction of new colonies and Hamster groups the universe got even bigger and we as readers get even more exciting stories combined. And the teams working together was never more important. Only united they can stop a common enemy to ensure the survival of their kind.

It is like coming home and re-join with beloved characters we fell in love with during the last adventures in the first book. They are so adorable, and the characters are so unique. Lots of friendship again, love and so much bravery – these hamsters are just the best. The story is again entertaining and the illustrations just so good, providing lots of details and emotions. In the second book there are as well even more hamster characters and other animals with great characterisation and story line. One can only admire the fantasy with which the authors have breathed life into this world after the giants disappeared and left modified hamsters and everything else behind. Another fun entertaining comic with characters, who will steel your heart.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book.
The Underfoot Vol.2 is a graphic novel. It is of the same quality as the first. Also, I felt there are far more characters/ hamsters to remember and follow. Sometimes it gets confusing. The artwork is great. Overall a fun read, but I'm not a fan.
