![]() ![]() ![]() Rating: 3.5 stars, rounding down to 3 - not as great as Vol 1, but much improved over Vol2 (And yet another reason why I think this novel follows better from Vol1, as it seems a natural progression from there, completely ignoring the domestic violence of Vol2.)Įnds with a bit of a cliffhanger and a dumb-ass decision, but of course we need to add some more drama and tension for the next - and final - volume. Shiiba and Munechika actually seem half on their way to a mutual, mature relationship in this volume which was great to see after the trainwreck that was Vol2. There's some more squicky content, but considering that it comes from the bad guys I'm more willing to accept that Shiiba and Munechika can move past it as it isn't their own choices/behaviour in question. ![]() Vol3 introduces two new characters and finally reveals the on-going antagonist of the series. Shiiba tells us that the events of Vol2 led him to a new revelation, but since this was never actually since Vol2 at the time, we could just as easily have jumped from Vol1 to 3 and not missed a thing, with Shiiba making the same decision/vow off the events of Vol1. Unlike the placeholder 2nd volume, the characters feel back to their normal Vol1 selves with very little input from Vol2. A better return to form and the standards set by the first novel in the series. ![]()
