Finding Camellia, Vol. 2
SOWING THE SEEDS OF ESCAPE
Having secured a way into the capital, Camellia just needs her sickly brother Kieran to return in good health―but the last thing she expects is for him to be accompanied by Ian Sergio, prince of a rival nation. Not only does he know Camellius Bale’s true identity, but he also appears to be quite taken with her! And he doesn’t seem to be the only one, either, as Duke Ihar confronts his own burgeoning affection for Camellius. With more eyes on her than ever, will Camellia be able to pull off her plan to find her mother and leave House Bale?

This and the first volume were part of my BOGO 50% off B&N spree. Read them when I got them, but no time to do reviews until now, so I re-read them and am doing the reviews now.
I think Camellia needs at least Ian and Claude in her harem, just saying. I like them both. Claude is seriously falling for her even though he thinks she is a dude. (Not homophobic, he just didn’t think his sexuality went that way, so he’s going through some confusion now.) Ian knows exactly who she is and really does seem to dig her. He heard tons of stories about her from her half brother and seems to have fallen for her via the stories. Both love interests seem like they have secrets and ulterior motives for everything, but it seems Claude is the end game. Wish she could get them both. She deserves a LOT of happiness considering what she has had to go through.
I completely, 100% despise the butt-hurt lady who kidnapped Camellia and forced her to do what she is going through now. Camellia’s job is done! Let her leave with her mother already!! But NYOOOOO, you just HAVE to keep CONTROLLING Camellia to hurt her because your husband did the dirty with Camellia’s mom, creating Camellia, and you can’t take the humiliation!
Seriously, why can’t the husband freaking control his wife?!? This seems to be in a day and age where the man ruled the household. She’s SOOOO focused on Camellia bringing shame to their house when SHE is the one doing that very thing! Her husband and son BOTH point that out to her, but then they just drop it??
Also, hubby needs to keep it in his pants, just saying. Yeah, I’d be pissed too, but I would take it out on HIM, not the innocent kid.
4, this is great drama but bad for my blood pressure, stars.

Things are about to get very interesting for Camellia. 2 princes, and the son of a duke falling for her, not to mention the creeper going around hurting women. I hope Claude can get her out of trouble and help her find her mom before things take a turn for the worst.

It’s just not that interesting enough to continue.

I quite enjoyed it, although it seems a little convoluted? It might just be that various names and such, but it feels like it'll end up being political machinations.

Finding Camellia Volume 2 continues the story of Camellia (now called Camellius) as she begins to forge a path of her own now that she’s fairly certain her time as the second born son will be coming to an end
Once again, the story here is gripping. It’s what keeps me requesting the next volumes from my library because I’m dying to know how it’s all going to pan out. With the introduction of a new rival Royal, a potential love triangle is beginning to form, and I do like that Ian knows the Camellia is Camellia so I don’t have to feel as confused about him as I do about Claude
But speaking of Claude, that’s once again the reason I can’t say I love this series. The will they, won’t they back and forth is exhausting. The banter is confusing because while it’s clear Claude has feelings for Camellia, it’s not so clear that she feels the same. So is this an enemies/rivals to lovers set up or is he just bothering her all day every day? And, save for Kieran, I admit I don’t like any of these characters. Most of them fit into the same box; arrogant and cranky. Camellia hasn’t exhibited much personality so she’s been a bit hard to root for.
This volume also has the same issue with ending chapters as the first. It’s like you get to the end of a page and all of a sudden it’s the next day, no resolution or concluding sentence to the previous chapter. It’s very annoying.
Still moving to volume 3 to see if the plot will hold up

CREDO QUE NEGÓCIO RUIM. Pelo amor de deus, isso só pode ter sido feito para ver quão longe alguém pode ler sem ter um surto psicótico. A protagonista é uma songa monga, não faz nada em momento nenhum, insuportável, o tempo todo ela que achar a mãe mas ela: 1° não vai procurar, 2° não faz literalmente NADA com as oportunidade que recebe em questão de obter poder para o depois de achar a mãe. ELA NÃO CONSEGUE RESOLVER NENHUM PROBLEMA DA VIDA DELA. NENHUM. NUNCA. "Aí ela era prodígio na academia sla das quantas" Pois deviam só ensinar a ler pelo jeito, porque o mínimo de sabedoria política essa 🤬 #$%!& não tem. O ML é um INSUPORTÁVEL. O segundo ML é mais AINDA. O irmão dela é um banana, um pau mole, INSUPORTÁVELLLLLL. NINGUÉM FAZ NADA. AS COISAS SÓ ACONTECEM COM ELES O TEMPO TODO E ELES FICAM AHN? PELO AMOR DE DEUS.
Nem o romance presta, porque cá entre nós o relacionamento me passou uma vibe mega estranha depois de um tempo, a manipulação da parte do ML não me caiu bem.
A premissa era tão legal, a autora tinha a faca e o queijo na mão e decidiu jogar o queijo fora E ESFAQUEAR o leitor. NÃO LEIAM. EU IMPLORO.

read until: chapter 131 [completed] + 13 side story (completed)
camellia was taken away from her mother to live as a son of an aristocratic family. because of her sickly half-brother, camellia lost her own identity since the tender age of 12. due to her birth as the illegitimate daughter of the bale family, she strived hard to make up the situation even though it’s none of her responsibility. she survived through verbal abuse and neglect from her father and stepmother. in the meantime, she met claude through her brother. the marquis was aloof since they were young children, but claude grew feelings for camellius (camellia’s boy name) and never turned around after that. he’s always showing affection afterwards. it was really cute. i’m so glad that once the people who loves her found out about her disguise, they 100% worked to make sure she can reclaim her name and freedom.

I am not sure how I feel about the new character Ian, he is so creepy and just doesn't seem to understand NO is NO. Go away. She is clearly uncomfortable, leave her alone. Eew. I don't like a guy who is one of the male interest and a creepfest. Claude is much better. He tries to be there for Camellius (he is still thinking Camellia is a guy, which is both adorable and makes me laugh as it is so obvious), brings sweets, protects her from creepy Ian. I love seeing Camellia try to make plans to find her mom. But that ending is illegal. You cannot just end it there. ARGH.
Hopefully Camellia is able to be a girl again for real. She deserves it. Plus, I hope she will see her mom!

I can’t get over how beautiful the art style is!! The second novel is especially interesting but I don’t know how this Ian guy knew the truth? Was there backstory I missed? He also seems weirdly obsessed with Camellia even though he didn’t know her ?? Anyway I have a bad feeling that she won’t find her mom? I don’t know how long the original web novel is but I can’t keep buying these books bc it only contains three chapters each 😭😭.

28 Dec. 21: Season 1 ends at Chapter 30.
I’m not a fan of this particular “Lord Claude” and I wish Camellia would meet a decent potential partner instead, but it’s not going to happen, obviously, and instead she’s stuck with these people who have no respect for her boundaries whatsoever. It’s like they’ve never even heard of the word.

Another beautiful full colour edition to add to the series.
More predatorial romance, more politics. Some of the characters' obsession with Camellia/ius is a little cringe. Red flags all around. I am curious to see where the series goes - I never read past these chapters on Manta.

OK so I gave this a 3 star because honestly, I remember what the story is about but I don't remember loving it but I also don't remember hating it either. I remember there being some funny parts in it so I guess until I reread this, I'll keep it at a 3 star.

I read the whole manwha in 1 day. I found the story really entertaining and couldn’t stop reading. I totally recommend. Can’t wait for season 3 to come out already!!

Reasons why I won’t continue with the series:
-I like Ian better than Claude
-Camellia has no personality.

Read more graphic novel reviews at The Graphic Library.
Camellia/us has spent 4 years as basically a shut in at the Bale manor while older brother Kieran and their mother lived in an enemy kingdom. Kieran has been living with Prince Ian, and has been receiving treatment for the sickness that has plagued him since childhood. Now 16, Camellius must enter the academy like all nobles, and there isn’t much the Bale family can do to stop Camellius from becoming part of society. Among those taking interest in Camellius is Lord Claude, the noble who was a central figure in Camellius’ debut four years ago, Prince Wade of their kingdom, and Prince Ian, who knows the truth about Camellius.
Get ready to suspend some disbelief a little further because it’s not extremely clear why all of these gents want Camellius other than he’s pretty and they seem a little bored. Wade and Claude make it a bit of a competition, but Ian comes a bit out of nowhere with his obsession of Camellia/us based on what Kieran has conveyed of his sibling. Regardless, the romantic tension and build up hits differently in this series because many of the leads believe they are chasing a male, so this might scratch a little bit of an itch for BL readership as well as shōjo fans. The art is exceptionally beautiful with gorgeous coloring.
