The second Spill Zone picks up right where the first one ends, and while we still don't REALLY know the exact cause of the Spill, many questions were answered in this sequel. Addie must save her sister, Lexa, from whatever Verspertine is, while the Koreans want to know more about the Spill in P-Town. This time, though, Vespertine needs to make a choice, and the Koreans need to learn more for the "Brilliant Comrade." With the help of a Korean boy who has also been changed by the Spill, Addie has much bigger problems than just taking pictures. Much more action in this one than the first one, and definitely much less confusing. I gave it 5 stars for the action and even more gorgeous drawings this time. While some of the monsters look like they were drawn quickly and hastily, the use of coor was beautiful and something I haven't seen in another graphic novel.

Volume 1 was my favorite graphic novel on 2017. And while I like volume 2, it doesn't live up to its creator. Strange things are happening in the zone. Vespertine is a princess who has run away from her betrothed. Addy can now fly, and North Korea, who had their own Spill Zone is getting in on the action. This could be an end, but it could also be the beginning of a new chapter.

There wasn’t quite as much holding this volume together as the first one, or maybe it just wasn’t as new to me. Still, a good YA graphic novel that walked the line between creepy and super creepy.

I am enjoying Scott Westerfeld's new series Spill Zone. This sequel definitely lived up to the first one and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

I absolutely loved Spill Zone! Scott Westerfeld is one of my favorite writers ever and I was immediately addicted to the story of Spill Zone - how Poughkeepsie was mysteriously destroyed/overrun with strange phenomenon after an event known only as a "spill." The problem with graphic novels, though, is that they tend to be short, and volume 1 of Spill Zone was no exception. Waiting for Volume 2 was agonizing, even though I got to read ARCs of both volumes. I need a volume 3. I have so many questions: what will the "spill" be like in New York City? How are Addison and Don Jae effected? Also, why on Earth is Addison allowed to live quietly after the military saw her fly? She flew. In front of witnesses. What kind of deal did she strike after that? And Vespertine: are we ever going to get a complete backstory on her? Is she good? Is she evil? Is she still connected to Lexa somehow? I NEED TO KNOW!

Same problem as before: the ascm file opens, but it's too distorted to read. I loved the first in the series, so I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt.
