This was so good! The art style is super cute and the characters are funny as heck. I'd say more, but I feel I'd spoil it. Kappa and Siren are so cute together. I can't wait to read more.

Castle Swimmer vol 2

5/5 Stars 🌟 This will be reviewed on instagram 27/1

Thank you NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for this eARC


I remember reading castle swimmer on webtoon back in the day! As soon as I seen volume 2 out on NetGalley I knew I had to reread volume 1 and catch up! It’s been so long!

I love this cute comic and I love it as a little cozy read, the art is beautiful and its story was so eye catching.

Honestly seeing it go from a webcomic to a published comic makes me so happy ❤️

Castle Swimmer is one of my favorite WebToons that I have ever read and I absolutely love that it is getting a print run. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this so that I can have it forever! Kappa and Siren are so unbelievably cute together and I am so thankful to have gotten this e-arc! I will be rereading the entire webcomic now.

This is such a cute story with great art. I really love the characters and how they interact with each other. I read this originally on Webtoon, but I loved revisiting the story in graphic novel format. This is the type of story you can read over and over and enjoy more every time.

I started reading it on webtoon some time ago but when I got accepted for the arc I was so happy! Personally I prefer the layout of the book instead of the one designed for phone screens.

The drawings are really bright and vivid and they make me want to go live under the see with the other sharks and sea creatures!

Also the storyline is really interesting and the dinamic between Siren and Kappa is so tender, cute and somehow special. I can’t wait to read more about them and to see what could happen when they’ll meet again!

Episodes 20-41 of the webtoon
Funny, sweet and heart touching!
Very avatar esque comedy perfect for middle grade and pre teens
Prince Siren tries to protect the Beacon Kappa from execution
Queen Susca is growing impatient with siren and is willing to do the execution herself
Siren and Kappa struggle with their feelings for each other, they are clearly in love but their positions strain their futures

The stakes feel higher and the emotions run deeper in this charming follow-up to Castle Swimmer. Siren and Kappa's relationship blossoms against the backdrop of danger and impossible choices, and the humor and heartfelt moments balance the tension beautifully. With stunning art, lovable characters, and an unexpected twist, this volume keeps the magic of the series alive while setting the stage for more adventures.

#ad I received this book as an ARC but the opinions are entirely my own. I was excited to read this sequel as the first one ended on the cliff hanger and the artist showed their current art style at the end. For me it felt like nothing happened in the first 50% it was only then that we saw some engaging plot, however this ends in a way that I’m not desperate to continue the series. Like I said in the first volume I do like the character designs for all the different merpeople and the thought that went behind their design. Unfortunately it wasn’t the enough for volume 2

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

the aquatic adventures of prince siren and beacon kappa continues!! this second installment brings more cuteness and surprises for readers that will make you wanting the next volume! this one especially also made me giggle so much hehe siren and kappa are such cutie pies

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This is just such a cute webtoon! I love it so much!

The art style is beautiful. It is easy to read and get into.

I was laughing out loud at so many parts. The author has a great sense of humor!

I love Siren and Kappa together and separately as their own characters.

Skiff is so adorable as well! I loved how he helped Siren and continues to be a good person.

The queen’s Krilli and Nee were such a great addition to the cast of characters. I would love to see more of them! They had me laughing at all of their scenes.

I never really got upset with Siren’s mom, even though people have a right to be. I understand the love she has for Siren. Seklie is hilarious though, her character always makes me laugh as well.

It had a little bit of a twist that I wasn’t expecting, which was cool for a mostly lighthearted webtoon.

I cannot wait to read more of this when the next volume comes out!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a super cute follow up to Volume 1 and I liked the character progression. The artwork is well done, the story is entertaining, and the characters are adorable. I look forward to the next installment.

I loved it! I will add my full review the week of publication, per the publisher’s request.

Thank you NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the ARC!

This is a great continuation of the series! We learned more about the prophecy and get to see Kappa and Siren's relationship evolve deeper :) All they want to do is be free from all these prophecies, I can't wait for volume 3!

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me this opportunity to read and review this book early.

This is such a wonderful follow up to the first book I loved the growth of characters, the suspense, and the big plot twist. I'd read 100 more volumes of this.

This comic is too cute. Siren and Kappa are such dorks. The queens Nee and Krilli are so silly. I hope they all meet again!

Castle Swimmer is back, and this one is just as good as the first book. The art is beautifully drawn and brings all the characters to life, along with the sea life we encounter. In this story, things are revealed, and characters are hurt. We see the characters grow into their own individuals instead of the roles assigned to them. I can't wait to see what awaits them in future books as they continue growing and discover what's out in the world for them.

This story keeps getting better and better! I enjoyed the addition of Queen Krilli and Queen Nee. I hope to see more of them and other queens in future volumes. There was a good balance of silliness in this emotional story. I didn’t see what was coming! That’s saying something because I’m usually really good at guessing. I can’t wait to see what adventures Kappa and Siren go on next.

I loved this sequel! I received volume one as an ARC as well and loved it, and this was an excellent follow up. The characters are so interesting, the plot was exciting and had a twist, and the art is gorgeous!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the e-arc!

Castle Swimmer was one of my fav webtoon reads of last year and I am glad to see the second volume on NetGalley. The story so far is very thrilling and I've been enjoying the relationship between the main two as it is developing. I think this series shines the most in its plot and if you decide to check it out you will not be disappointed. I will continue to keep reading this series as I can't wait to see how this epic tale will conclude.

kappa and siren are back and more adorable than ever. the second volume of castle swimmer picks up where the first left off, with siren searching for a way to save kappa, and covers the second half of their time in the castle as their relationship evolves and they learn about a twist in the prophecy that brought them together.

i just love this series. it’s the perfect escapist read—sweet and heartfelt and beautifully illustrated—and i’m always left wanting more. kappa and siren inspire each other to want more out of life than their preordained destinies, and i’m looking forward to their adventures outside the castle in (i hope!) the next volume.
