![]() ![]() There were some very funny moments in this volume, and I look forward to them being animated later this year, but overall, this volume lacked spark and wit. Good, but reads like an anthology of side quests. That said, I'll probably go on to the next since I don't have much else I want to read right now and it'll probably be fun. ![]() That need not be a bad thing, but I feel like the author is trying a bit too hard to take Maple out of the picture to give the others the spotlight for a while, and maybe that spotlight is spread out too much to be effective. Attention has rather drifted away from Maple to other characters. ![]() It's still a fair read, but this one really comes nowhere close to the excitement of the fourth volume. I think it's supposed to keep you reading, and it might work, but I often feel like dropping the series when they do that. It ends on a cliffhanger, which is a personal hate of mine, but really common in light novels once you get past the initial burst of activity. After the excitement of the big battles with Flame Empire and the Order, it was sort of inevitable that 'what happens next' was 'not much.' This is a bridge story between the first four books and the stuff coming up next. ![]()
