Vaughn doesn’t bludgeon the reader over the head with a wordy exposition dump instead, we are left breadcrumbs of information to piece together. Normally, that bare-bones plot would bore me, but due to writer Sarah Vaughn’s work on exploring the world, individuals, and beliefs of Sleepless, I am vehemently entranced and along for the wide. Both heroes, Pyppenia and Cyrenic begrudgingly accept. Meanwhile, Cyrenic is tasked with representing the Sleepless Order in the upcoming Tournament. Surno want Pyppenia to remain in his kingdom in order to protect her and befriend his bratty daughter, Princess Rellen. Pyppenia feels unsafe in the kingdom due to the failed assassination attempt on her and pleads desperately to the new king, Surno, to allow her to go home. The main story in this issue is very formulaic. While Sleepless #2 focuses more so on the politics of this universe, the few tidbits of information we get regarding the world, and it’s varying inhabitants and organizations definitely do the story justice and flesh out a much larger and intricate universe that one would initially assume.
