Rating: 4/5
For me, volume two of this series is much more enjoyable than volume one. It takes a different approach by jumping 2,000 years into the future. The Earth is broken and Gilad Anni-Padda is caretaker of one of the few groups of humans still struggling to survive.
What I liked best about this book is the relationship between Gilad and his granddaughter. As he teaches her about the world outside their confined home, the reader gets to learn about what happened that brought the world to this point. Part of that discovery includes forgotten bits of technology (and why some of it has been forgotten). While this is quite a departure from the previous volume, it connected things back to the family issues brought up in the first arc.
I enjoyed the art a lot. There is a lot of mixing technology with nature. Some of the set pieces are just stunning. Given some of the events that are hinted at, the Earth is in much better shape than expected. I like this take on the Eternal Warrior and want to see more from him in this time. There are plenty of opportunities to fill in the gaps too.
