This volume picks right back up from where the first volume ended. This volume covers the second half of the castle arc and ends on a cliffhanger. This volume really managed to build Siren and Kappa's relationship up! It's a slow build, but it's a really sweet type of relationship that appears to be growing. There were also some truths revealed that were shocking! It's very hard to fully talk about this volume without spoiling it because I don't want to spoil any of the very good twists.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

i received an eARC from netgalley and am giving my honest review!!

this was one of my favorite webcomics in high school and god it’s so exciting to see it grow so much. the story is just as incredible as always, kappa and siren are just so adorable and lovely. i forgot how much i love them, and coming back to them and their story was so welcoming and relieving. highly recommend to anyone that would listen

Posting full review here but will wait to post publicly until closer to pub date, per publisher's request.

This was perfect. And exactly what I needed to read right now. I read it in one quick sitting and found myself rapt and eager to see how things would unfold for Siren and Kappa. I was worried I would have trouble remembering what happened in volume 1 but there was just enough context to get me back up to speed quickly.

This book evokes a lot of feelings and character with few words. The drawings are beautiful and the main players all so endearing. Even the secondary characters have a lot of depth. There's humour, suspense, intrigue and romance - what more can you ask for?

I can't recommend this enough and I can't wait for volume 3!

Castle swimmer review

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

This is an amazing continuation to the first volume of Castle Swimmer. I read this some years ago through Webtoon and I’m so excited to reread everything again. It’s unbearably sweet and heartfelt, with a touch of heartbreak here and there.

The art is absolutely fantastic and the story is beautiful written while at the same time being humorous and unserious.

Just two boys in love trying to find their freedom, while being barraged by prophesies, crazy and ridiculous queens and lots of friendships.

I absolutely loved it!

As good as the first volume, this is a real breath of fresh air. Those two boys deserve the best. I can't wait to read more and see how the story unfolds.

Another super cute and adorable installment.
I can’t wait to see these boys get their happy ever after.
