Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun read. This will be a great graphic novel for a younger audience.

I didn’t like this one as much as the last one, but I still want to know what happens next so I’ll be looking out for the next volume. It’s just the scenery for this one wasn’t as captivating or pleasant to look at and the story was kind of boring compared to the first one. But the cliffhanger at the end makes me want to read more.

That was another long-awaited and long-anticipated sequel! A fun, entertaining, and gripping read in the graphic novel format, with wild art and awesome text.

ARC Copy...Honored to be reviewing the second volume and was curious after the first book, where will the Inventor end up. The trade City was a complex sight to behold both visually and...that's alot of laws and rules. Also could feel, something bout this city is seedy, and will Grandpa be found?

When you find yourself looking for a loved one and end up falling into something you never expected, things can get strange fast. This is an interesting story about a young country boy inventor who is looking for his grandfather. He might have gotten more than he bargained for.

Thank you Papercutz and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this fun book. This is a continuation of The Inventor series and this story starts where the volume 1 ends. Cobalt is on his way to find his grandfather with some adventures along the way. Same great characters, fantastic artwork, fast moving plot, great world-building, & a cliffhanger ending makes for a fun read. Can’t wait for the next volume to find out what happens next and am sure that my students would love this series as well.

"The Inventor Vol. 2" picks up where book 1 left off, with Cobalt and his turtle on an adventure to find his grandfather. When he arrives at the last town to have seen his grandfather, he has to learn to navigate their tricky politics while still searching, and also earning enough money to survive.

I really enjoy this series. The art style is like a combination of manga and graphic novel, with the colors being brighter than most graphic novels. I enjoyed the plotline and read this book really quickly! My only problem with it is Cobalt makes a super stupid decision at the end that I think he was smart enough to know not to do. I also wish this book had a recap at the beginning so I could remember more of book 1. Can't wait to read book 3!

I think this is the perfect book for middle grade readers, especially if they are into sci-fantasy adventures. I highly recommend this series and will definitely continue reading.

4/5 stars

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Papercutz for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review.
