In the hilarious and epic sequel to the full-color fantasy graphic novel Fantastic Tales of Nothing, Nathan and his unlikely team of magical beings return with another adventure to save their home from an evil spirit—perfect for fans of Amulet and Estranged.

Welcome back to Nothing! After the battle with Stryx, Nathan is lost and alone (again). But this time, he has friends to find and a quest to continue! At least no one is chasing him . . . well, except for that ancient evil spirit trying to destroy Nothing. Oh, and the war started (great!).

Once reunited, Nathan, Haven, Sina, and Bardou must continue their journey to the Edge. Nathan has visions of Lerina that intensify as they travel, and the group discovers the clues to save Nothing may reside in the lost legends of the past. Unexpected allies appear but new enemies lurk everywhere, and the most powerful foe is attacking Haven's spirit from within.

If Nathan and his band of friends weren't already feeling the pressure, they must prevent two realms from tearing Nothing apart, defeat Stryx, and not die in the process (no biggie). Otherwise, volken, faes, and all magic could vanish from Nothing . . . forever.

      As war between the Volken Court and the Human Empire once again spreads across Nothing, Nathan and his ragtag team of unlikely friends continue their quest to defeat the all-consuming Stryx. An immediate follow-up to the charged finale of Fantastic Tales of Nothing (2020), this entry finds its heroes torn apart. Having learned of the fae's demise under the orders of the Volken Court, Haven copes with the loss of their family. Is Haven the last of the fae? While Sina attempts to let go of the past, Baldov embraces the possibility of newfound kinship. Meanwhile, Prince Naoki and his loyal guard, Ren, finally join the adventure as the young Imperial Highness assumes an active role in protecting his kingdom and its citizens, whether human or Volken. With the power of Lerina within him, Nathan dreams of Lerina's past, and together he and the group need to uncover the knowledge required to defeat Stryx, the malevolent force currently inhabiting the body of Chancellor Aquilla, leader of the Volken Court. To unbind Stryx's hold on Haven--and his threat over Nothing--the adventurers seek out the truth behind Lerina's myth. Green and Rodriguez continue to refine and expand on the world of Nothing through jovial humor, fantastical bits of myth-building, and lots of heart. Stronger pacing and richer character development also lend gravitas. The colorful artwork surprises thanks to well-spaced set pieces and excellent creature design. Fans will be left hoping for more adventures about Nothing. (map) (Graphic fantasy. 8-12)

      Gr 3-6-Adventure and mystery await the questing team of human Nathan, fae Haven, crow Sina, and wolf Bardou in this sequel to Fantastic Tales of Nothing. The land of Nothing is full of strife now that the Court and the Empire are at war. Even among the courtesan volken, or magical shape-shifters, there are divisions. As visions reveal fragments of the past to Nathan, the team travels to the Edge in order to learn how to stop villain Stryx's possession of Haven and takeover of the continent. Unraveling the mysterious disappearance of ancient fae leader Lerina may lead to defeating Stryx for good if time does not run out first. Readers who enjoy humor, magic, and epic questing will find much to enjoy in this artfully illustrated middle grade graphic novel. Characters are complex and diverse, especially amongst the main character team, with a mixture of species and skin tones; Haven uses they/them pronouns. However, certain worldbuilding aspects will make more sense if readers are familiar with the events of the first book. VERDICT Purchase for libraries where fantasy graphic novels are in demand.
