Aaahhh!!! I love this series so much, I am so happy I got approved to read the ARC!

I was only going to read a few pages today but I got so into the story than I ended up finishing it. And the way I screamed when I reached the end. I NEED MORE. Hopefully when the third volume is up as an ARC, I'll be approved as well (though sadly my netgalley feedback ratio isn't very high because I had a reading slump for a while.)

This book has so many amazing things. I love the characters, I love the world building, the plot, the relationships. EVERYTHING.

It's time for the great hunt! Wherein Lucia learns more about Norrix the mage and the purpose behind Modeus' creation, Kirsi and Reimund take a chance on their fledgling relationship, and more questions are raised about just what's happening in the fairy war and what could happen if Lucia were to be discovered. This volume focuses on relationships, and how seemingly simple things become complicated when at court. There's a spotlight on Lucia and Kirsi's friendship, with the constraints created by Kirsi's authority even though she means well, and both of their interactions with Reimund. We get to see more of what he's like as a king and friend, and it's neat to see the tentative trust and admiration forming between him, Kirsi, and Lucia. Having previously read this story online, I've got a soft spot for the bonus chapter, which continues the previously unpublished Baynard and Peres' backstory.

Beautiful art, as always. The creator is so adept at conveying sharp moments of violence, negativity, or fear in a way that's gripping but also keeps graphic depictions off the page. Enjoy this volume for the quiet moments, and the hooks of intrigue and fear building in the background.

Volume 2 includes Chapters 18-38 and bonus materials from the ongoing webtoon, which currently has 145+ chapters. In other words, the print books won’t be catching up any time soon.

Enjoyed this continuation of the story, including the deeper dive into main character’s identity and their magic. The artwork was also cute. Looking forward to the next piece of the story.

Purpah does a phenomenal job in the volume of Suitor Armor, continuing to beautifully illustrate and tell Lucia's story by delving into her journey with magic, growing tensions in the Kingdom, and her relationship with Modeus. I absolutley love how Purpah shows the complexities of Lucia's character throughout the first and second volume, seeing how she struggles with her hidden identity and finding someone to somewhat confide in with both Norrix and Modeus. We see her character continue to grow and evolve as more secrets of the kindgom come to light, as she triexpress es to find a solution that can help both the fairies and the kingdom who took her in.

A phenomenal continuation of Lucia's story that I can't recommend enough!

Suitor Armor: Volume 2 continues to expand on the enchanting world of Suitor Armor, diving deeper into Lucia’s magical journey, the growing tensions within the kingdom, and the complexities of her relationship with Modeus. As Lucia begins her mage apprenticeship with Norrix, she starts to embrace her abilities while also seeking to rescue her fellow fairy, Quinn, from the kingdom’s dungeons. However, in doing so, she uncovers unsettling truths about the fairy-human war that shake her trust in those around her. Meanwhile, Modeus grapples with the violent purpose for which he was created, adding a layer of conflict to his bond with Lucia as they navigate their deepening connection.

This volume balances world-building, character development, and intrigue exceptionally well. Lucia’s personal growth is a highlight as she begins to carve out an identity beyond her role as a lady-in-waiting. The romance between Lady Kirsi and King Reimund adds another dimension to the story, while Norrix’s past provides new layers to his character. The fairytale-style artwork remains stunning, complementing the story’s whimsical yet dramatic tone.

With every volume, Suitor Armor becomes more engaging, blending romance, magic, and political tension in a way that keeps readers hooked. This installment not only raises the stakes but also strengthens the emotional depth of its characters, making it an excellent continuation of the series. I’m excited to see where the story goes next!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

I continue to love this story with each chapter.

In this volume we start to get a little more character development with all of the main and supporting characters.
Modeus seems to becoming more and more his own "person". The growth and development with his story line is fantastic.

Modeus has a moment where he starts to really show his humanity when he is entrusted to help an injured bird and then again when he sees Lucia truly scared.

We get some more information on the fairy war and things may not be what we thought. Lucia is starting to piece together information from books and our captive fairy friend in the dungeon, leading her to a suspicious dark market and to a man named V.

We start to get more of the lore of not only the fairies and some of the pixies , we start to see other races as well ( briefly so ) such as elves and animals that were formally fairies

I really enjoy the bonus chapters of Pres and Baynard, and seeing how they became apart of our group of misfits.

I really dont want to spoil anything so I wont, but miss Purpah...that cliff hanger has me needing the next book to make sure our cinnamon rolls are ok.

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

I was immediately drawn back into this incredible story with Volume 2. The artwork and layout are absolutely stunning, capturing every detail beautifully. I especially love watching Lucia come into her own. The stakes have definitely been raised, with a new conflict between fairies and humans. By the end of the volume, I was eagerly anticipating what comes next!


Thanks for arc NetGalley

I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Suitor Armor is an amazing story that tells about the war between humans and fairies.
The tension and romance continues from volume 1 and on.
I love Lucia and Modeus. The character build-up only gets better. I love how Modeus is now able to advise his friends and ask for help. He is becoming more self-aware and even more swoon-worthy throughout his interactions with Lucia.

Volume 2 introduces more conflicts and threats, including internal ones within Lucia. She is slowly learning how to deal with the royal court and all of the players.

The artwork is also just excellent and really makes the story come to life.

Totally recommend it if you are interested in laughing and sitting at the edge of your seat!

I am in love with this story! I’ve kept up with the story on webtoon and I am so excited to continue the published version! This story has strong themes of overcoming prejudices, found family, and hints at romance. I fell in love with the cast of characters and so far the character development is a big theme as well!

Obsessed? Me? Nooo (definitely 100%)


I LOVE this one! Genuinely I need it. I need 1,2,3,4 all of the books from this series that will ever get published!

I didn't read 1 so it was a bit chaotic but OMG I loved it. So much. Like I felt like I didn't need every single piece of information from book 1 to understand this one!

It read super smoothly to! And it made me forget everything around me (like I was reading it during class and the teacher said my name and I got "woken up" from reading! Best feeling EVERRR!).

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
4 stars

The first volume was cute and a nice set up, but this one really dives hard into what book 1 already set up. Even more complications of fairy vs human lore, further understanding fairies and their powers, plus Modeus becoming more and more a person of his own. Lucia's interactions with him continue to be adorable. I also started to really like the romance between her friend and the king (I'm bad with names, sorry T^T). The cast keeps growing more into their own. I'm super excited to see where the mysteries set by this installment go, and I just hope Lucia continues to be safe because she is a precious bean

Another great volume of an incredible webtoon that I'm so pleased is getting a print edition! The formatting for the physical volume is well done, and the extra details and illustrations really show how much care is being taken with the conversion. Can't wait to pick this one up for my shelves too!

My current favorite graphic novel! Thank you to Netgalley for the arc of this bad boy right here. It's taking my library 8,000 business days to get the first volume in so I scooped up the webtoon app and read the first three volumes there. But the graphic novel had a little Peres and Baynard mini toon about their relationship in the back which I super enjoy. The way I plan to own this entire series. If you haven't started it, start. It just gets better with each volume.

I love this story it is just so adorable and cute. I’m really excited to learn more about the background of the fairies and more about Lucia’s past. Also, I’m curious to know what the mage is hiding.

This is a great story, and the second volume did not disappoint. I enjoy Lucia's story, and her finding out more about the alleged war and the backstory of the fairies made for a really great read. The story of the side characters are all becoming important to the narrative as well. This book is both adorable and heartbreaking. I am left on the edge of my seat for volume 3!

I really am loving and flying through this magical story.
I love learning more about the world, the magic and the characters (Baynard is a firm favourite)

I’m always guessing where the story will take me next. I do have some guesses (some I want to happen and others I hope don’t) the build up to the big reveal which is being hinted it - I’m very intrigued!

I can’t wait to see where this story goes next.

This sequel started out a little slow, but then got into the groove and finished very strong. I love the characters and the plotlines are well fleshed out. A great sequel and I am already looking forward to the next book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review!

This was a total 5 stars for me, I enjoyed it even more than Vol1 and can’t wait to read more of the story - I need the next volume asap!

Suitor Armor is a very cute story set in medieval times about hidden fairies, secret romances, magical metal knights and some light court politics. This time around, in Vol2, I got exactly what I felt was missing in Vol1 - the story gets a little bit darker and more complex (while still maintaining its whimsicality!) and I was sucked in! I also absolutely love the art style and the color palette - it’s a very aesthetically pleasing graphic novel.

I love how the story progressed between our FMC and our MMC plus the other important characters and their own relationships - volume 2 has a bonus chapter which I ADORED about a side romance happening with another set of characters. I also love that we got a darker sense of the conflict happening in the story and how it’s impacting its inhabitants. This volume also progressed well and the pace fit the story very well in my reader’s opinion.

I would still highly recommend this series - even more so after reading Volume 2. I had a great time reading this one and can’t wait for the next iteration and more of the story!

⊰ 5 stars

First of all, I would like to thank NetGalley, Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press and Purpah for allowing me to read an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I have to say, I am absolutely OBSESSED with Suitor Armor. I love all the characters, they each have their own backstory and development they go through within Volume Two. Each character has a purpose, but we also see fun interactions outside of that. I especially loved getting to see Reimund and Kirsi getting to know each other better and falling in love in this volume.
I love how we get more of an insight into the war and the world building that is done in this volume. Getting to see the dynamics outside of the castle walls was very refreshing and interesting.

I would absolutely recommend reading this series and can't wait to read more of Suitor Armor!
