An improvement over the first volume, but there are still issues with characterization. Dane/Jack is still barely more than an outline of a character.

The volume ran the gamut of beautiful and wistful to ominous and dark.I'm a little sad to say that there was less mythology in this volume than the last, but in its place Gai...
