Review:
The attempted rebellion meets its end in this volume. The two tribe
leaders thought they were pulling one over on Su-Won, but they
mightily underestimated him. Su-Won is smarter than anyone gives him
credit for at this point, though understandable. He doesn't seem as
cunning as he is, and he puts on a happy-go-lucky front very easily.
But he's much more tricky than they expected.
This gives Yona a new perspective, though, seeing what the other
leaders are up to. She sees Su-Won in a new perspective, why he did
what he did. Now that she's seen what's happening in the tribes, what
the leaders are doing, she sees that they need a strong ruler—and
that her father wasn't quite it. It's unclear what she's going to do
with this new knowledge, though. It's also unclear what Su-Won is
going to do. They're both kind of avoiding each other, and letting
them do what they are.
Quite a bit of this volume involves the Fire Tribe's main family.
Tae-Jun and his older brother get to deal with the aftermath of what
their father did, and they get to see what Tae-Jun has been up to.
Su-Won is making his rounds, meeting with the tribes in the aftermath
of what they did.
We get hints of progress between Yona and Hak as the volume ends.
They're just so sweet... Aw.
I'm utterly in love with this series, of course.
