Goodreads

The second book in the Estranged series is as beautifully illustrated, engaging, and action-packed as the first. The boy changeling Edmund Carter has been returned to his human family and the Fay Cinder has been returned to the World Below to rule as king. When there is a threat to all magic in the World Below, Cinder must call upon his family and his friends to help him solve the problem. Plot twists, battles, magic, and family allegiances are part of this sweeping, dense, engaging graphic novel.  The ending hints at a third volume to tie up a loose end from this book and it would be very welcome. Give to readers of the Amulet series or Gregor the Overlander series. Recommended for more sophisticated upper elementary readers and then middle school and up.
