Loads of fun (just like its preceding first volume/adventure) and a book I think I'll have to pick up for my niece for her birthday....Shhh. Don't tell her! ( )

The second book of the Zita adventures. It's such a beautiful story of sacrifice and friendship. I couldn't put it down. The art is amazing and consistent with the other books. It just gets better. ( )

cute as ever ( )

I very much wanted to like this book; it was highly recommended to me. It's a nice story, but I found the illustrations confusing and, it turns out, that this was not the first book of the series.

I liked the epigraph very much:
Much after a beginning is difficult, as everybody knows who has crossed the sea, and as for the first step a man never so much as remembers it . . . . . . The first step is undertaken lightly, pleasantly, and with your soul in the sky; it is the five-hundredth that counts. ---Hillaire Belloc

There are sketches---kinda like outtakes---at the end. And a living ship that needs to "establish a mental connection" to work properly. ( )

I love Zita and her cohorts, but this installment felt a bit rushed to me. I wish more time was spent on introducing the new characters. I will still eagerly await the next one though... ( )
