Volume 2 picks up right where volume 1 ends.

The school of Alfea has been pretty much demolished. The fairies and specialists who are still standing are trying their hardest to defend what's left
of their school and their lives. The Winx have been hit harder than the rest, however they need to stand strong for everyone around.

Stella has been thrust into her own internal darkness after an unfortunate run in with her shadow self. Bloom is still struggling with her own demons and has some big choices to make.

This volume ends with a big cliff hanger that will bring about big changes for all of Alfea and challenge the winx in what could be their biggest trial yet.

The artwork is fantastic from the individual character designs to the color palettes used, it really brings the story together. Im glad that they chose this specific style and format.

Parts of the story seemed rushed, I do wish we had a bit more pages to expand on the battles and the resolutions. This volume contained alot of dialog and where thats not a bad thing there was spots where it felt like you were missing parts of a conversation. Pacing was just a tad off.

Overall I enjoyed the read and can recommend this to younger readers ( middle grade ) and adults alike.

Thank you NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios | Maverick for the Digital ARC for review.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a drc from Mad Cave Studios | Maverick via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I will always support and be a fan of the Winx in any form and I'm happy that these graphic novels are a continuation of the show that I really enjoyed but this one fell a little flat for me. As much as there was a lot going on, it somehow felt like nothing was really happening. The reveal at the end was the only part where I felt like okay, we're getting somewhere now and I'm excited for the next one, but this volume felt like a lot of filler. I want more so I'll continue reading but I do hope that future volumes will be longer with more depth both for the characters and the plot. The artwork remains colorful and unique.

The thing with continuations in graphic novels is that you eventually hit a point where it probably would have been a filler/exposition episode...which is, unfortunately, volume 2. Don't get me wrong, I'm still super excited for any/all upcoming volumes of Fate, but this did seem a bit short given that about 70% of the book was spent undoing things that happened in volume 1. I'm interested to see how Bloom's storyline progresses from here, especially.

It has been a while since I read Vol. 1, and I found it hard to get back into the story.

The art style was okay, but nothing special.

There were a couple of action scenes, but overall, not much really happened. There was mainly a lot of talking.

The book felt too short to fully develop the plot, and it didn’t really grab me. I’m not sure I’ll keep reading this series.

I'm glad they decided to continue the story in this format, the concept it's really good and the artwork fits the story in such an amazing way. I do feel like this could've use more pages, the pace it's a little rushed and all the big problems were solved very easy. There's drama, sadness, friendship, mystery and love stories but they all happened in a blink of an eye.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, I'll be here next year for the third volume!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios for the e-arc!

This series has been a nice surprise for me as I did enjoy the Netflix series before it was canceled. I think this volume was a bit better than the last one but it still needs time to grow. I think the story is bit too fast paced and could stand to slow down in order for the audience to truly breathe in certain moments. I will keep supporting as I want this to be successful but i do hope things can change.

I liked this, it was a very quick read and a lot happened but at the same time I'm not sure a lot did? I still enjoyed it and the plot twist at the end was so unexpected.

I also love the art style so much, its beautiful.

Volume 2 starts heavy with action. The writers are taking a lot of liberties with the story. I do not expect it to be word for word what happened in the animated series nor Netflix show, but the direction they are taking it is certainly a bit confusing. Especially Musa’s powers which I could not wrap my head around to understand so I decided to accept it and continue reading.

The actual story was short and important events happened, but I felt nothing occurred at the same time. Regarding the style and art, it was gorgeous and I really enjoyed it. I will continue to look forward to continuing this story.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me a copy.

While I love the color and artwork, the story of this one is a LOT of dialogue and very little action. It's also way shorter than I was anticipating, so it feels like the story is a bit truncated. It's a quick read with lots of magic, and an interesting twist at the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
