The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'rygoth (Rat Queens #2)
Read my review of Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery if you want a run-down on the plot.Long story short: four kickass females (a smidgen, a dwarf, an elf, and a Cthulu priestess) form an adventuring group. Crazy stuff happens.It's SUPER-AWESOME.And Orc Dave is in this! I have such a crush on him. And he kisses Violet in here! Full-page kissing! KISSING! With Orc Dave!!!! <3 *Carmen draws little hearts in her notebook*READ IT. I mean, read Volume One first, but this series is amazing.
3.5 stars
(Received from Netgalley for review.)It's been a long time since the first volume of Rat Queens. That's for a good reason, which I won't really get into here. Long and short is that Wiebe elected to change artists, from Upchurch to Sejic, for a really really good reason. The result is, as far as art quality goes, kind of a lateral move. Upchurch is talented, and so is Sejic, and their styles aren't terribly different on this book. It also meant considerable delay in producing the individual
Sigh. I just LOVE the Rat Queens.This one is a bit more chaotic than the first (if that is possible) with someone wearing a mask that channels a powerful tentacle deity (or three). So the Rat Queens of course have to save the day in between all their crazy shenanigans. We get a little back-story with some flashbacks and a couple new characters are introduced. There's lots of sex and a bit more relationship angst. But still a riot and loads of fun to read. One of my favorite parts was seeing
Better than the first volume, there's actually some story here. I enjoyed the backstories, although the main story needed to be fleshed out more.
Revenge is coming in a supernatural sort of way.The Far Reaching Tentacles of N'Rygoth just wasn't a hit for me. The nudity was increased and believe it or not seeing a nude penis drawing wasn't on my list of things to do today. The comedy wasn't quite there either although there were a few moments.In the end I just wasn't feeling this volume as much as the first one.This is definitely for anyone looking for a lewd and bloody time.

This booze-soaked second volume of RAT QUEENS reveals a growing menace within the very walls of Palisade.

Story Maybe not quite as good as the first volume, but awfully close! Everyone should read Rat Queens. This is especially true for any D&D/RPG players out there.The story is excellent, the humor is hilarious, the action is fun and the characters are memorable. This is true not only of the Rat Queens themselves, but also the supporting cast. Betty continues to be my favorite though. She always makes me smile.I think the highlight of this volume is insights into the backstory of 3 of theRead my review of Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery if you want a run-down on the plot.Long story short: four kickass females (a smidgen, a dwarf, an elf, and a Cthulu priestess) form an adventuring group.
