Pan has finally escaped her planet and is now on the run with two rebels, Bee and Cass, and the mysterious Kate. They've also rescued a princess, who might has her own idea of what her freedom should look like. And Pan still wonders what happened to her childhood friend Tara, who was a princess that escaped their own planet. But as the crew is headed to a new mission, will the stress of the rebellion tear them apart? Or bring them together against the empire?

I read the first volume of Cosmoknights about a year ago and fell in love. It's a queers in space adventure with fantastic art and gorgeous colors. The way that Templer expands the world in this book is fantastic, but it also doesn't overshadow the strong characters she created. We get to see how the rebellion is pulling at the seams of their group, but also that their idea of rebellion doesn't necessarily line up with other people's. There are a lot of interesting character dynamics throughout this volume, and I expect these will just be expanded upon in further volumes (because there better be more with that ending!).

One of the things I appreciated most about this volume was getting the perspective of the princess that they rescued. They thought they were helping her, but they found that she had different ideas about that. It's these conversations that allow them to think about how they are going their revolution, and it also adds character devleopment to the characters we met in the first volume.

All in all, I just really love this series and it's one that I definitely think that I'll need to add to my own shelf eventually!
