He was the last great hero of his generation. Velma Martinez--Velveteen--had never intended to be a great hero, but she was out of choices. "Hello, Jolly Roger." "Hello, bunny-eared girl who's taken over my ship. Have you come to collect the bounty on my head?" "I've come because Dame Fortuna told me how to find you, and we need your help." Velveteen crossed her arms. "The Super Patriots are corrupt, and I think Marketing is evil, and they have my best friend, and we want her back." Jolly Roger blinked, several times, before turning to the Princess. "Is she for real?" "She is," said the Princess, sounding smug. "She would have been happy stayin' out of the way for her entire life, but The Super Patriots forgot the first rule of rabbits. Don't follow them into their dens. They're meaner than they look." Velma hadn't wanted to be a superhero, had walked away from it all once before. But when love and friendship call Velveteen to fight, she can't run away, no matter the odds. Award-winning author Seanan McGuire chronicles Velveteen's ultimate battle in this concluding (for now ) volume of her adventures.… (meer)

As much as I loved the first collection, these were the stories where shit gets real. The first volume was a tad disjointed and it was obvious that Seanan was still figuring out the universe and Velveteen. These stories, however, all that was done. And the stories rocked. I resented the time I wasn't spent reading because I wanted to stay in Velveteen's world forever.

In the first collection, we find Velveteen lost, without friends and a purpose, and nearly at the end of her rope. The last few stories set up Vel for the next stage of her life, which is played out in technicolor glory in these second set of stories. Vel's grown up, and ready to live her life again. And when The Super Patriots, Inc. threaten that, she's ready to fight for justice or go down trying.

The book ended satisfyingly, though with enough loose ends that another story arc may be possible at some point in the future. I certainly hope so. ( )

Just a terrific followup to the first novel, excellent characters that change and develop as the story progresses and it progresses a lot in this book. And I have a new favorite character along with Vel, Jack and the Princess, Victory Anna the coolest steampunk character ever. ( )

This was quite heartbreaking and like the first in the series the stories are sequential.
Velveteen would like to leave the Super-Patriots behind but they seem determined to keep her in their sights. She has to pull in a lot of favours and deal with problems that arise once she has to confront what people do to people she loves and likes to try to keep their power.
It was heartbreaking in parts but overall a good read. ( )

This was not as satisfying as the first volume, but it was wonderfully satisfying. If you loved the first book, you will love this. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It sill has the same silly fun that's a part of the first book, but this sequel starts to get a little deeper into the problems that are set up in the first book. It's darker, but no less good or hopeful or ultimately happy. Mostly. There is ultimately a happy ending, but it's not a fairytale ending where everything is okay and nothing costs more than a cup of coffee.

“Happy ever after isn’t easy. If it were, we wouldn’t fight so hard to have it.” ( )
