 Volume 2 of Covenant collects episodes 19-36 of the Webtoon comic, which means we get a lot of story in this volume, that builds on the events of Volume 1. The story flowed nicely between episodes, seamlessly continuing the overall arc of the story while adding in extra details, new characters and background to what we already know. 

 The art was gorgeous, as in Volume 1. The light contrast between good / evil and the highlights of gold whenever action scenes took place was so pleasing to the eye. 

 Again, the LGBT rep was really well done, combining inclusivity and diversity within the cast of characters. Everyone was an individual with distinct art and personalities. 

 I liked that we got to learn so much more about Sunny and his backstory, while also learning more about Ezra and his struggle with his faith. There was a lot of story involving the two of them being forced together for Ezra's protection detail and through college. 

 I did sometimes feel like Sunny was one of those too-stupid-to-live characters, who disregards his own safety and that of the people around him just to accomplish his own goals. He's often thoughtless and reckless, but considering his age and background, that feels pretty authentic to his characterisation. 

 I'm definitely intrigued as to how this will continue in Volume 3.
