Review:
In the first half of the book, we get to see the team practicing
together. Splitting them in two teams, they get a challenge, and get
to work with one adult to make a dish. Only, they're not allowed to
talk to each other. It's a fun challenge, and the turnout is nice. It
lets them work together in a new way, and see each others' way of
cooking and their strengths.
In the latter half, we're amping up for the competition. We're
finding out who's on each team officially, and Erina throws in a
surprise for her father. I like the people chosen for the rebels
team—I enjoy the added characters. It's just getting started as the
volume ends, so there's probably a lot of competition left. We're
starting with Soma, and I still quite enjoy the way he freaks out the
audience and tasters. He's always using some weird ingredient or
style to throw them off.
Also, the announcer has clearly been brainwashed, or possessed. The
look on her face is honestly creepy.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
