Goodreads Synopsis:
In accordance with the
wishes of Queen Victoria, young Earl Ciel Phantomhive embarks on a jaunt
to Germany with his elite butler, Sebastian, in tow. Gruesome and
mysterious deaths are occurring on the continent, and along with the
fear of contagion that permeates the air there are also rumors of
witches and werewolves running amok. When Ciel's party heads right into
the heart of a cursed forest where supernatural creatures are said to
dwell, they run straight into a witch! In fact, several of them! And the
village head is none other than a little girl who appears as though
she's stepped out of a fairy tale?!
Review:
The end of the last
volume had me curious and wary, but this volume… Just took things to a whole
new level.
So apparently the
werewolf threat is more serious than everyone took it. Especially for Ciel. I
won’t spoil what happens, but it’s bad, and very surprising. This took a huge
backstep for Ciel, and it’s clearly hard on Sebastian, as well as everyone
else. And it’s just plain hard to see Ciel like this. The poor kid. And it's nice to see how much Sebastian really does care for him.
Before all of that,
it was interesting to meet the little girl, Lady Sullivan, and her cohorts and
town. She is surprisingly naughty, and hilariously so. And after that, we even got to see some of sweet Finn’s history, who I’ve
always loved. He’s always been a sweetheart, but to really see what he’s been
through and what Ciel did for him. Just aww.
And while I’m just
plain curious about the werewolf thing, and what Lady Sullivan is going to do
about it, I want to see what happens with Ciel more. It just hurts to see him
like this.
