The second volume of Lumberjanes really stepped up the game! Friendship to the Max was a noticeable improvement in several areas. What caught my attention (and had me fangirling) was the inclusion of Greek mythology, particularly the appearance of Apollo and Artemis. As a huge Greek mythology geek, I couldn't help but get excited when this section came up—it added such a fun, unexpected twist to the story!

Beyond that, this volume did a great job of tying up some loose ends from the first volume, though not all. The character development also felt more solid here, giving the girls added depth and more moments to shine. I was especially satisfied with how the major story arc was resolved—it felt complete, but still left enough intrigue for future adventures.

Friendship to the Max exceeded my expectations, blending fun mythological elements with heartwarming friendships and exciting action. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes next!
