Fresh from their near-miss escape from the Guards, Bianca and Poe strike a deal: If he guides her through the treacherous Maze, she will take him to see the White Guide, a feathered statue in the City that may hold the key to Poe's origins. It's an adventure that will take them from the lowest shadows to the highest rooftops, with untold dangers along the way...and not everyone in the Maze is happy about their new alliance.
Feathers #2 plays a lot with the dichotomy of light and dark in everything from the young protagonists to the worlds they come from. It is a stunning issue. Read Full Review

Forgetting about the City and the Maze, the Mice and the guards, the story that lies at the center of Feathers is one of friendship. Friendship and the way it changes people, makes them better and braver and bolder. Both Poe and Bianca have spent their lives shielded from the outside world, whether due to fear of hurt, or respect of order. Ultimately, the result, is the same - Poe and Bianca are lonely. They are both desperately in need of a friend. Not only is this a book for readers of all ages, it is a book for outcasts. It is a book for kids who are looking for adventure and, more importantly, someone to share it with. Read Full Review
There's nothing seriously wrong with "Feathers"; it's a cute story with an appeal of its own. But the hiccups " the trouble with pacing, the lack of development in the characters " make it difficult to single out in a market full of wonderful fantasy titles. Read Full Review
Overall, Feathers remains a strong all-ages offering from the folks at Archaia, albeit one which may be suffering ever so slightly at the moment from its episodic format. As one continual story, this could be seen as just a slight lull, but as an issue all on its own, it does fall just a little flat at least compared to the opening chapter. That said, the charm and excitement of Poe and Biancas growing friendship is more than enough to warrant the cover price for the time being, and once the real meat of the story gets going, I have no doubt this series is going to become pretty much essential reading. Watch this space, folks. Read Full Review
