Suitor Armor is an interesting webcomic I’m happy to see so nicely adapted to print. The second volume is as successful as the first, and as someone who follows the webcomic it was nice to revisit these earlier moments. Lucia and Kirsi’s growing pains are evident—they’re growing further apart as friends as Lucia and Modeus grow closer—and the volume ends on a beautifully colored ominous cliffhanger. I especially enjoyed the bonus chapter of Peres and Baynard’s early relationship! Definitely a great investment for fans.

I love this series, the characters are all complex and interesting. This is a great addition to any Library with a graphic novel / manga section. This series is aimed at older teens and young adults due to its themes (there is racism, romance, tangled relationships, etc.) the FL is hiding her race due to deep prejudice by those around her which is revealed in the first volume and continues here.

This volume was so much fun! I’m absolutely in love with the art! Suitor Armor is so visually stunning, and I NEED all the physical copies, like yesterday. I loved getting to dive deeper into the characters, watching bonds grow and both platonic and romantic relationships develop in meaningful ways. Lucia and Modeus are slowly coming out of their shells, and it’s such a joy to witness. Their curiosity and kindness is just so pure and wholesome. This story makes every moment feel magical and I’m excited to dive into the next installment.

This series continues to be very cute yet deep with its themes. I appreciate the art work - especially our FMC in fairy form. This series is definitely for folks who like a good kingdom story, with a hint of mystery and light political intrigue. Oh, and fairies!

As always this was a fantastic story and I am amazed by the illustrations. I'll continue to follow Lucia's journey and I love getting more of all the characters!

Rating: 4.5

Another fantastic and atmospheric addition to this story. I adore all the characters, the complexity of the world, the beautiful artwork.

We learn a bit more about Modeus’ purpose, and the ongoing war between humans and fairies, however there are lots of secrets and more to learn. A very emotional scene toward the end made me shed a few tears! Very impactful and an emotional journey.

I’m excited to dive into the next volume

Suitor Armor Volume 2 is a beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated graphic novel about Lucia, a young fairy who must hide her identity in a world where humans and fairies are mortal enemies. This volume of Lucia’s story sees her deepening her connection with Modeus, an enchanted suit of armor whose primary purpose is to hunt and kill fairies. She also balances searching for information on fairies, beginning her journey as a mage’s apprentice to Norrix, and navigating her relationship with queen-to-be Kirsi.

I first read Suitor Armor (volumes 1+2) on Webtoon years ago, and I loved it so much that I anxiously awaited a new panel each week. Now, with the story organized in perfectly binge-able volumes, I love it even more. One of my favorite parts of Volume 2 is when Lucia and Modeus are in the library, and she suggests teaching him to read! I also really enjoy Baynard and Peres, both individuals and as a pair, especially in the bonus chapter. The way this volume concludes with a cliffhanger is amazingly frustrating, and I will immediately be starting Volume 3!

I encourage any reader who likes graphic novels, fantasy, or romance to read Purpah’s story. On second thought, I would recommend this to any reader. Suitor Armor is truly incredible, and I give it 5/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Purpah, and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the arc copy of the book in exchange for my review!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an eARC to review.

This graphic novel series is delightful. The characters are complex and compelling to read about. I’ve already read the 1st one thanks yet again to Netgalley, and I’m really open to being able to get my hands on the 3rd one.

It ended on a cliffhanger abruptly, which I was not prepared for 😭

Suitor Armor, Vol. 2 by Purpah was a great follow-up to the first volume's story. We get to learn a lot more about our fairy-in-hiding, the magical suit of armor, and even progress some relationships. Lucia is coming along quite well in her magic practice as well. If you enjoyed Suitor Armor Volume 1, you'll definitely like this one. Recommend for older middle readers and above.

It felt like such a privilege to read this as an early copy. This Webtoon series is one of the best out there and the second volume was a joy to read. Modeus and Lucia’s relationship begins to bloom and I loved watching them bond and get closer to each other.

We find out a little bit more about the fairies and Lucia gets trusted to take care of a little pixie friend of the fairy currently imprisoned. The unraveling of why fairies are hated by humans starts to unfold for Lucia and why Modeus was created to kill fairies.

Lucia’s sorcery lessons are going remarkably well and she catches on and begins exploring spells on her own quite quickly. All the while knowing she must hide why she’s so naturally inclined to use magic.

Then of course, there’s the best scene in the whole book that made my heart warm and my cheeks blush. It was so cute and wholesome and all I’ll say is the cover gives a little hint to it.

I can’t wait to read more of Modeus and Lucia’s story! I’m absolutely obsessed with this webtoon and if you haven’t read it, you absolutely need to. It’s so so good!

I loved the first volume and the excitement continues in volume 2. The suit of armor is so endearing while still vaguely threatening in a strange juxtaposition. The art style is sweet and reflects the main character's personality quite well.

Suitor Armor: Volume 2 by Purpah deepens the magical intrigue and palace drama in ways I didn’t expect.

Watching Lucia grow into her mage apprenticeship felt so satisfying, especially as she balances her new powers with the looming dangers around her.

The quest to rescue Quinn ramps up the tension, and the revelations about the fairy-human war added a fresh layer of complexity that kept me hooked.

I also loved seeing Norrix’s past unfold — it gave the story more emotional weight. The evolving bond between Lucia and Modeus is tender yet bittersweet, making their journey truly compelling. Plus, the exclusive bonus content and behind-the-scenes insights made this volume feel extra special.

If you’re a fan of romantasy graphic novels with rich world-building and complex characters, this volume is a must-read!

I love the art style of this graphic novel. We’re getting more growth in Modeus in this one and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here. I do feel like we don’t actually get much story in each installment. As pretty as it is, it feels like after two volumes we’re still in the very introductory chapters of a story instead of volumes in. Just like the last one, I felt like this one cut off kind of randomly. It’s almost as if we left off in the middle of the sentence. I will absolutely be reading the next volume, though!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A riveting fantasy story entwining fairies, scheming, betrayal and love beyond all bounds continues in Suitor Armor. Modeus is my favorite character, with his big heart and mysterious past starting to be explored. If you like a rich fantasy story of love, diversity, and tense politics, this graphic novel is a gem.

This series is so freaking sweet and wholesome. First, the art is absolutely beautiful. Everyone feels so individual and themselves and each scene is just so perfectly rich and vibrant!
The characters themselves are so well thought and depicted that's hard to not FEEL what they're feeling. The relationships form in a realistic and natural way and it's so hard not to love all the characters in their own way.
I absolutely can't wait to read the next one!

This was an epic follow-up to Volume One! The writing? Still sharp. The art style? Still giving main-character energy. It picked up right where we left off and kept the pace like a well-cast spell—until that cliffhanger came in like a boss battle I wasn’t emotionally prepped for. Now I’m stuck on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next volume like it's my sacred quest. Someone hand me a potion of patience, because I need answers ASAP.

I absolutely love this series. The art is beautiful, the storyline is suspenseful, so many of the characters are loveable, and even those that aren't are still complex and fleshed out. I can't wait for the next!

If you love reading romantasy and you like reading graphic novels, you absolutely need to dive into this series. This volume specifically dived more into the world of the characters and I found it to be really intriguing as there is definitely more to it than most of our characters know. As with the first volume, I love the relationship between our hero and heroine - and yes, it is the most romantic thing I have ever read despite the hero being an sentient empty suit of armour. The art was cozy and beautiful and it really suits (haha) the story perfectly. I found the stakes to really heighten in this one so it makes me a little anxious to continue, which I will definitely be doing soon as I have the third volume to consume as well.
