Thank you for the are ARC of the second volume of Suitor Armor!
I was so excited to read this second volume to see where things progress and things did not disappoint. I am so in love with these characters and I truly hope that Lucia and Modeus are able to find a way to be together and happily.

SUITOR ARMOR walks a very careful line between balancing its forbidden romance, high stakes, and intrigue with an undeniable cozy energy. Both the whimsical art style and the writing are so incredibly charming. Romantasy in the purest sense.

Thank you so much to Ten Speed Press for the ARC!

I will start off by staying I didn't realize this was Volume 2.

I felt the story was beautiful and artfully done. I do think I was missing the content to fully enjoy the story for what it is since I missed book 1.

The author has come up with an interesting story line though and I think others will like it

This is a cute graphic novel and I love the artwork.
I Love Lucia, she is pretty, kind, caring, hardworking
unfortunately, it’s Modeus I’m not fond of.
I frequently find myself hoping that modeus and Lucia don’t end up together, even though the title basically says that the do.
Regardless, I will likely continue reading simply to satisfy my own curiosity.

Suitor Armor Vol. 2 picks up where we left off and jumps right back into our adventure! As we learn more about the kingdom and our heroine, as well as the relationships forming around her, we are drawn in to the web of lies and hope that is woven. I highly recommend this for a reading group ages 12+.

I love this series on Webtoons, and I’m loving the graphic novel so far! The story is thrilling, full of mystery, and I love the medieval-esque setting. Characters are interesting, dialogue is engaging, and I’m looking forward to more Suitor Armor!

This is a now favorite series of mine! I love following Lucia & Modeus' story more in this volume as Modeus's character begins to develop further, as well as the two of them in their relationship. Modeus is a great friend to Lucia (and hopefully something more as some point 🥰). After reading the first volume, I immediately went to Webtoon's app and started reading where the first volume left off and made it to about halfway through this volume's storyline. I'm a big fan of this art style, as well. Really excited to see where Purpah takes the story from here. I'm happy that this book really dove deeper into the fairy versus human lore that was set up in Vol. 1. Hoping all the best things for my girl, Lucia 🫶🏻 She deserves to be who she is freely and unafraid. I'll be reading on the app but also not-so-patiently waiting on the third installment!

A truly beautiful volume two, of a series I remember fondly on WEBTOON! The art is stunning from front to back, and Lucia and Modeus captured my heart. The fairy lore becomes even more interesting. I definitely need more!!

Okay, first things first, the cover and inner cover art are stunning- what a welcome back. And let me tell you, there are some INCREDIBLE pieces included in this volume. I'm so impressed that the art has improved already, and I have recommended a few friends to pick this up when it releases. Relating to the art, I found that the transitions into more serious or dark moments were MUCH more natural than the first volume! My only big issue with the first collection was the jarring art changes during tonal shifts. I found the art (and writing) here to be more fluid and consistent overall.

I loved the characters in this volume even more than I did in the first. Lucia is one of the most lovely characters I've read in recent years, and Modeus is such a charming protector. Purpah does an excellent job portraying emotions through subtle changes in Modeus' stance, head tilt, and pupils, so he's remarkably easy to read. Their conflicts and anxieties felt more substantial and meaningful, and I really appreciate having high stakes in a romantasy. The real dangers for Lucia and the will-he-won't-he tension she has around Modeus made this entry so interesting. Despite lingering over the art, I read through the 272 pages in one evening, not wanting to pause.

Kirsi and King Reimund had a lot of growth, as well. They connected in a way that caused immediate change in Reimund and brought the two of them closer. I mostly saw development in Reimund afterwards, but hope to see more confidence and open-mindedness in Kirsi's future. Even the side characters are more effective in this volume: Norrik's backstory was so sweet and tragic, though he still screams problem to me. Quinn brought further tension and stakes to the narrative. Baynard and Peres don't do all that much to change the story, but their acceptance and support of Modeus and Lucia are helpful to keep conflicts from rising to a fever pitch. Make sure you read the bonus chapter at the end, it had me mentally giggling and kicking my feet.

I can't think of any issues I had with this second volume. I absolutely loved it, more than the first, and hope to read the third volume ASAP. Huge thanks to Netgalley and Ten Speed Graphic (from Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press) for access to this digital ARC. All thoughts are honest, genuine, and my own.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

In volume 2 we continue with Lucia and Modeus becoming closer, and Lucia finding ways to use her magic. There are some hard truths learned by all. But I have no doubt that these two will be able to rise to the occasion.

I absolutely love this story. I read it on webtoon, and was thrilled to see it here and eager to reread. The art is so good, if I could eat art I'd eat this. The characters are all so brilliantly written, the world build unique and familiar all at once. I enjoyed every second of this story!!!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A fantastic Volume 2! My patrons are loving this series and are looking forward to next as much as I am! The artwork is amazing and I love how we are learning more about Lucia and fairy magic and meeting another fairy. She still has a lot to learn about her self as does Modeus. Lady Kirsi and King Reimund are getting closer as the wedding nears but Kirsi's father is still to sick to come back so I look forward to learning more about his storyline along with more information about fairies and what that will mean to Lucia.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending ma an arc in exchange for an honest review through NetGalley.

Lucia is excited about starting her mage apprenticeship with Norrix, still the lady-in-waiting for Lady Kirsi when she's not practicing, and doing all of this while being accompanied by Modeus -- the suit of armor that was enchanted and brought to life by Norrix for help with the human-fairy war. Lucia's and Modeus's becomes a bit strained when they discover the truth as to why he's been created, but Lucia is determined to show him the beauty of life and the world around him, offering him a chance to make his own choices. As Lucia begins to discover the darker side of the truth, she'll have to make decisions she's not ready for. Will she be able to find the answers she's seeking?

UGH I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. I honestly stopped reading the webtoon at like episode 10? (Not because I wanted to but because I lost the name of it) and so this was all new to me and I couldn't get enough of it. My heart broke when she learns his true purpose for having been built, and then to see her struggling with trust because for the first time she finally can trust someone was just a punch to the gut. This poor girl has been living in fear for over a decade now, and of course everyone immediately begins to become suspicious of her because of her trust in Modeus and the way they interact and it was heartbreaking. And then that ending?! MY HEART IS BEATING WAY TOO FAST NOW.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

The continuation of Lucia's story as she seeks answers about her past and the future of her kind was even better than the first. In the first volume, we were introduced to the story and its setting, getting a general overview of the characters. But in this volume, we get to know the characters more deeply, and the mystery and main plot evolve as they embark on a hunt.

I find the conflict between humans and fairies fascinating, especially the half-truths and possible lies Lucia has grown up with all her life.

It’s a pleasure to see Modeus’s character learn new things and reveal different aspects of his personality. His development is one of the most enjoyable parts of the story. He’s like a Frankenstein’s monster, where the real monster is not him, but his creator. He’s all gentleness, yet can’t ignore the fact that he was created to kill.

And, just like the first, the artwork is stunning, with moments that are so beautiful (like the fire butterflies or the blood scene) that they are breathtaking and manage to perfectly convey the emotions of the characters.

I am really interested in this story. It's interesting to see a fairy and a magic'd armor become friends. I also love the illustrations.

I love this book so much. I loved seeing how Lucia and Modeus’ relationship grew and changed in this volume, and also just the growth in Modeus character as he started to learn more about the world around him. The scene with the fairy deer was such a sad, well done point in the story,

I also really love Sir Baynard and Peres and hope we keep seeing more of them in the next volume!

This book touched my heart just as much as the first one in the series. While the first volume had charming moments and set the stage beautifully, this installment delves deeper into the rich world it introduced. The focus on fairy and human lore becomes even more intriguing as this one is more explored. I loved to read more about the evolving character of Modeus as he starts to assert his personality. The interactions between Lucia and Modeus are simply heartwarming. I've also grown fond of the blossoming romance between her friend and the king. Seeing the cast develop their unique identities as the story progresses is nice.
I'm looking forward to more of this series in the future.

While the first volume of this series did a great job of setting up the plot of the book, this one focuses on advancing it by giving us even more background on the world the author has built. The conflict between humans and faeries is interesting, and I want to know more (especially considering the main character is secretly a faerie herself). There haven't been much developments in the romances for the main character and I'm curious to know which suitor, if any, she will pursue.
I also enjoyed the additional chapter that both chapters had which focused on the romance of two very likable side characters. I'm interested to continue this series and see where everything goes.

*e-arc received from the publisher +NetGalley*

A good follow up to vol 1! This really fleshes out the characters and the world more than the first volume. The only issue I had with it was the love triangle between Lucia, Modeus and the mage Norrix? 😳

Volume two we go on a hunt. If you haven’t read book one go no further. We know Lucia is a fairy and that modus can talk. We follow these two further in their life and understanding of who and what they are. We also get to see the king and future queen at least talk to each other if not begin to fall in love. Of course, this book ends exactly where you don’t want it too. And I’m very happy. I have volume three on my iPad, waiting to be cracked open. I really do like that. The author includes a bonus chapter at the end of each book and so far in volume one and two we get to follow the love story of the knight and his sire. I am thoroughly loving and enjoying both of these stories and I want more.
