Heathen, Vol. 2 by Natasha Alterici, Rachel Autumn Deering
Now that Aydis has put a huge target on her back, she prepares for the next step in her adventure. Unfortunately for her, she’s faced with the consequences of her naivety and begins a crash course on the realities of the world and what it truly means to challenge Odin.
In this volume, we continue to follow Aydis as she travels to the land of the gods. On the way there, she encounters some dangerous beings who teach her about how well striking a deal with danger works out. We also watch her meet a crew of some amazing pirates, bringing her to an accepting place where love may bloom. However, we also watch Aydis begin her crash course in the realities of the world, especially as someone who has been somewhat sheltered all her life.
The second volume does not disappoint! The artwork continues to be absolutely stunning all while beautifully aiding in telling the story. Like the first volume, so many of the characters have a lot of layers and we really got to see how much dimension these characters have. I love that nearly every character has a story, and we usually see what that story is. I also love seeing the many characters ranging from human to gods get brought to life. While this story is rooted in Nordic mythology, it’s interesting to see how other gods are mentioned as well as how their followers are presented. All in all, I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the third volume, which appears to be the final volume.
