Now that Toby is to be Jareth's replacement on the Goblin King's throne, he has to learn many things, and none of them are easy (even the castle cuisine needs an eater with a cast-iron stomach). Mizumi, the icy Queen of Moraine, is one of his tutors, but as she desires the throne herself she can't really be trusted. Her very strange, cartoon-like daughters certainly don't help matters much. Though the poor boy wishes to do his best and make life for those in the Labyrinth better, with each new problem he finds it harder to help his friends. Moppet comes across something from Sarah's past that not even Sarah knew about, and the face behind the goblin mask is finally revealed. But where has Jareth been in all of this?
I can't say that this volume made me fall completely in love with the series. I will say, however, that it's a little better from volume one. The artwork still bothers me, many things still bother me, but at least we got a bit of what Jareth/Sarah fans have been clamoring for at the end (and what will happen with that? Well, it was a cliffhanger, so nothing to know until later this year).
