Kith (The Good Neighbors# 2) by Holly black (author) Ted Naifeh (illustrator)

Description:

Rue Silver's life is not what it appears to be. Her mother is a faerie, and has been taken back to the faerie realm. As Rue goes to bring her back, she must travel deep into an inhuman world. At the same time, the faerie realm is venturing into our world too, and taking its toll on those Rue loves. When her grandfather's plans threaten Rue's city, she realizes that she's the only one who can stop him. But is Rue a human or a faerie? Where does she fit? How does she know the difference between love and enchantment (from Goodreads)?

My Thoughts:

This is book two in The Good Neighbors series; story continues where book one left off.  Rue is searching for her mother whom she discovered, at the end of book one, to be still alive .  The person that they berried was her replacement; Rue must travel into faerie world and find her mother.  

I really enjoyed book two, it was as good as book one. if not better.  The story line progresses in a fast pace; there are lots of things going on at the same time, so you need to pay close attention to the story or you'll end up missing few things.  Given that this is a graphic novel and not everything can be put into words.  Graphic representation of the story was very well done; very clear and easy to read, illustrator did an excellent job. 

Overall the second graphic novel in the Good Neighbor series was very good and I am looking forward to reading more.  I would recommend this book to all faerie lovers, this was a very enjoyable read.  I give this book 4/5 STARS.
