Thank you NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the digital ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I truly enjoy this series. It's sweet but full of depth. Each of the characters show interesting growth in this volume and of course I am mostly here for Lucia and Modeus because they're my favorite characters. I love seeing Modeus continue to learn and understand how the world works and what things like 'death' actually mean and while his primary reason for being was to find and kill fairies, his instincts really aren't to harm but rather to protect and with guides like Lucia, Baynard and Peres, he's certainly in good hands. Even Lady Kirsi and King Reimund are growing on me in this volume because they show their vulnerabilities a bit more here which definitely makes them more likeable characters. The core group of characters spend the majority of this story on an expedition and I really enjoy seeing more of the world and learning some new information about fairies. The art is just as beautiful and colorful as the first volume and I look forward to the next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for providing an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Volume 2 is here and we are back with Lucia,Modeus, and all the other characters of this kingdom.
I absolutely love the slow burn relationship of Lucia and Modeus. They discover so much of theirselves together in this installment.
The art style once again is great! I love the bold use of jewel tone colors that create such a vibrant world.

Thanks to NetGalley and WEBTOON for the ARC!

Volume 2 of Suitor Armor didn't disappoint, and the ability to read in a printed format really did the story justice! The reading experience was still well thought out and the pacing was nice, I think the set of chapters included in this volume kept up the tense atmosphere as Lucia is trying to figure out where in the court she will fit in once Kirsi gets married and becomes queen. It was also nice to see some character relationships grow between the newcomers of King Reimund, Quinn, and Modeus learning to utilize his voice.
As a longtime fan of Suitor Armor, it's great to see it formally published as printed books, and I'm so excited to see the next few volumes.

I love this series! It is so well-written and reads like an epic fantasy novel. As far as graphic novels/webtoons goes, this is on par with Lore Olympus in quality of story and artistic expression.

In the next installment of Suitor Armor, we delve more into Lucia's past, Modeus's sentience, and court politics.

I absolutely LOVE this world. Lucia has my whole heart. And I really like how Modeus is slowly coming into his own. The romance between them (if it is romance) is a definite slow burn as they both navigate their place in court. I also liked to see the budding relationship between Kirsi and King Reimund.

All in all, this was a great installement, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

I was hooked reading the first book and this one is just as good. I CANNOT wait for the third book. I need more, the characters are great, the art style is amazing, the magic and background of the characters just suck you in. I need to know more.

This volume contains chapters 18-38 of the webtoon comic. A bonus chapter featuring the continuation of Baynard and Peres’ story is included at the end.

This volume picks up right where the previous one ended. Lucia is now an apprentice for the court mage and is learning about magic. A lot of big things happen in this volume with someone finding out the truth about her being a fairy, Morpheus’s ability to talk being revealed, and Lucia continuing to hunt for the truth about the fairies. There were a lot of important events that happened in this that changed everything for Lucia and I am very curious to see how she deals with it going forward.

Also I am very curious to find out what Lucia unveiled at the end of this volume since it was clearly something horrifying or scary.

I was excited to jump into the next installment of Suitor Armor. Lucia’s secret is even harder to keep in this volume. I liked that even more is discovered about the world and relationship with fairies. The more uncovered about every character, the more questions I have. What are everyone’s motivations? The way this volume ended…I need the next one as soon as possible!

This was just as cute as the first one! I don't really know how to review graphic novels, I'm sorry- but I really liked the art, and as a certified Monster Romance Enjoyer, I loved the "posessed" suit of armor as a love interest. I don't read graphic novels often so it's always so nice when I get to enjoy one.

OMG I loved this! It was so cute and romantic but in a nice way. Slow burn for sure with a touch of innocence. I really enjoy the way the story is unfolding and the world building is slow in a good way. We get snippets that keep us hungry for more. Can't wait for the next volume!

I am so happy to continue suitor armor there is so much to this story. Volume two just made me love it more with the way modeus is taking in the world around him and finding out her secret. As the story grows and things start to unfold and her magic is growing I'm excited for volume three. Definitely couldn't put this down.

Suitor Armor: Volume 2 by Purpah is a stunning continuation of a story that blends romance, adventure, and fantasy seamlessly. The art is breathtaking, with intricate details that bring the magical world and its characters to life. Every panel feels alive with emotion and purpose.

The story in this volume dives deeper into the relationships and conflicts, creating a perfect balance of tender moments and heart-pounding action. The chemistry between the protagonists continues to shine, while the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat.

Purpah has a knack for weaving a narrative that is both enchanting and emotionally rich. Volume 2 builds on the first volume beautifully, expanding the world and deepening the stakes. This series just keeps getting better, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Still one of my fave web toon series - and love how the story is tighter and better edited in this book version. It’s like I’m discovering it for the first time all over again. Awesome! My only detraction would be that I want it to be longer. Can’t wait for the next volume.

Suitor Armor is a fantastic continuation of Volume 1! I absolutely love the illustrations and story, and cannot wait for Volume 3 after that cliffhanger.

I received an ARC from Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press | Ten Speed Graphic via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks NetGalley and Ten Speed Graphic for the ARC.

This is the second volume of a great WebToon. It has an amazing story and the illustrations are beautiful. If you enjoyed volume 1 then you should grab this collection because the story continues to get better. If you haven’t already got volume 1 you should grab it and this one. Purpah has created an amazing world in this historical (kinda) romantasy manga.

This was fun sequel to the previous volume. I loved returning to the same characters and the world. I feel like we've only just begun to explore the dimensions of this world and I am excited to see where that goes. The character dynamics are excellent, especially with Norrix (this is a very biased take, as I really just have a soft spot for him). Modeus and Lucia are also great characters. The only criticism I have really is that the plot feels a bit slow, and I felt the ending was a bit contrived. Otherwise, a great sequel.

Suitor Armor has quickly become a favorite graphic novel series of mine. Purpah has built a wonderful fantasy world full of tension and conflict. Each character brings a unique perspective to the story, and Modeus and Lucia in particular have so much nuance to their development. Reimund has easily become a favorite, because he's just too darn cute. I can't wait to continue this series!

Absolutely loved this book! In all fairness when I read the first book I had to immediately read the rest on webtoon. This has become one of my new favourite series. The art is absolutely beautiful, if I’m not mistaken the art looks slightly different. The art seems to glow and illuminate off the page, it was very beautiful.

There’s also a bonus chapter at the end of the book that we don’t get to see on webtoon! It was of Baynard and Peres and we get a glimpse of how they fell in love!!!
