Callie, Declan, Lasser, and Radish find themselves amidst a plot to overthrow fairy royalty in the third installment of the hit Webtoon series Nothing Special, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes material from the inimitable Katie Cook.

Laurel Poppyfield, matriarch of the fairy Poppyfield family, is dying. She holds the majority of the Poppyfields’ magic, and has no heir to give it to. Or so she thought until Callie, Declan, Lasser, and Radish walked into the family estate trying to find someone to heal Declan’s wing. It turns out Declan is Laurel’s grandson and practically fairy royalty, and the timing of his arrival could not be more perfect.

Not everyone is happy about Declan’s sudden appearance, though. Leir, one of Lasser’s older brothers, has worked for years to become a trusted presence in the Poppyfield home. He was Laurel’s top choice to inherit the family’s magic before Declan showed up, and he’s not about to let his plans get ruined. It’s up to Callie, Declan, Lasser, and Radish to thwart his nefarious schemes before the Poppyfield magic falls into the wrong hands.

The third installment of Katie Cook’s Nothing Special collects the final 25 episodes of Season 2 of the webcomic.

While looking for someone to heal Declan’s broken wing he, Callie, Lasser and Radish stumble across an estate whose elderly owner, Laurel, is dying and desperate to find an heir for her magic. When it turns out Declan is her grandson, and now proclaimed heir, the friends find themselves drawn into thwarting a plot to overthrow Laurel and keeping her magic from falling into the wrong hands.

The actions moves quickly, picking up from the cliffhanger ending of volume 2. The artwork is atmospheric and the characters are engaging. We come to a satisfying conclusion of sorts, wrapping up a lot of storylines but a little epilogue hints at future adventures.  Even if this wraps the story completely the first three volumes are certainly worth the read.
