Did not live up to book #1. Not much action and all of the flashback scenes were a little confusing and a bit tedious. Artwork was good.

Funny and fun, Squire and Knight continue to delight in this second volume. As they progress to finding the wizarding school, both must use their wits and their mights (respectively) to defeat monsters and mayhem at every turn.

I didn't read the first book in this series, so I was a bit confused as to what was going on. I'm not sure if the squire was having flashbacks to something that happened in the first book. I understand that the squire and knight were transporting Cade the goblin boy to wizardry school. I know that the message of the book is to be humble even if you know you're right, you may not be completely right. However, I'm not sure younger readers will understand the message. I was a little disappointed by the ending. Not my favorite graphic novel, and I had high hopes before beginning the read.

I really liked the simple dual color style of this book. Having read the first in the series, I like that this is a different story base. It was a great message that we don't all know everything and that's ok.

Squire & Knight was fan favorite for a growing contingent of students last year, and one student would asked me each visit if book two was out yet. When I saw it was set to publish in October, I knew I wanted to read it. With a good mix of humor, adventure and some well placed thematic elements, I am sure book two will be a hit with students too.

Thank you to First Second for the opportunity to review this digital arc in advance of its publication.

The second volume in the Squire & Knight series. This is a relatively short story that focuses on the squire learning to better understand his role and value his rather braggadocios knight.

Loved the illustrations and the use of color in this book! The sequel was really interesting. I remember reading the first book and really liking it, and this one surely did not disappoint.

Loved the graphics. The arrogant knight cracked me up. I love that all the squire wants to do is read and how frustrated he gets with the knight. I need to go back and read the first one!

I received and ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This second book in the Squire and Knight series does not disappoint. In fact, I think it's better than the first one. Everything about this series is on point. The art and storyline are engaging and exciting. The characters are lovable, even our arrogant knight, especially Squire. I loved every second I spent reading this book. I'll be reading this aloud to my kids when it comes out for sure.
