Review:
You guys, there’s
only two more volumes in this series. It’s going to be over in February. How is
it so close to the end already?! I don’t understand.
I love seeing Maria
grow and find out more about herself and her past. It’s so exciting, and
horrible, and good for her.
I’m not going to go
into detail, because a lot happened in this book. There was a big internal
fight for her to go through because of a few things that she found out, and
it’s so hard to see her upset and angry, but she’s coming out of it better, and
that’s good. We found out a lot about Maria and her parents and grandparents in
this volume, as well as a surprise with Kurosu that I was really not expecting.
There was also some
development with Shin and Maria. At this point, I’m not really sure how I feel
about them, especially since it seems like Shin isn’t really listening to her,
or is trying to shelter her, when it’s not his say what she knows or doesn’t
know. Maybe I just want more Yusuke? I don’t know.
I love Maria. I just
want her to mature and be happy.
Anyway. I want the next volume, and can't wait for it to get here.
