Deaths Head Ginny returns in this second volume of this intriguing series.
Times have moved on and we're now in World War 1. The surviving humans from the first volume are in their dotage and the boy from the first is a soldier on the western front.
The conflict is no longer just between humans. The reapers are now front and centre of the story. The Reaper of War is gaining power and spreading across the world.
This is a powerful story about the folly of war combined with a grand supernatural tale about the nature of death itself.
It owes something of a debt to Sandman and suffers in comparison - but most works of this type do.
The artwork is mostly impressive but there are places where it's difficult to tell exactly what is happening, especially in the fights between the reapers where the art is almost impressionistic.
A good cheat read again and i have no regrets that I bought volume 3 at the same time as this one.
