ARC Review: Star Collector Vol. 2 by Sophie Schönhammer

YA, LGBT, manga, contemporary, romance

Fynn's favorite activities are skipping class, smoking, and lying around. So when he's told it's time to shape up and try doing something else for a change, he has no idea where to even start. 

Then, on a nighttime walk around his neighborhood, he sees a stranger with a telescope up on a hill: his name is Niko, and he loves to watch the stars. Intrigued, Flynn decides to find out more about this nerdy boy and what could be so interesting about the night sky that he loves so much.

Star Collector Vol. 2 is just as cute as the previous one and a good end for a duology. It delves into more Fynn and Niko's relationship and the challenges they have to overcome, namely Niko's secretive behaviour and avoidance when it comes to talking about his family. Truthfully, Niko frustrated me a bit even if his behaviour is understandable and has a good explanation. However, Fynn is adorable treasure! He's such a delight, especially since he's so excited about spending time with Niko compared to his apathy in the beginning of the story.

The art is great again, I really like it. My only complain about Star Collector Vol. 2 is that there's one thing that's not resolved in the end and it bugs me. It's a cute ending for a adorable duology, but it felt a tiny bit rushed and thus few things are unresolved. Otherwise, Star Collector is a lovely story with adorable main characters!
