Goodreads Synopsis:

Will this Queen with mind-control powers incite good or evil?

Fumi Nishioka lives with Kyutaro Horikita and his family of “Sweepers,” people who specialize in cleaning the minds of those overcome by negative energy and harmful spirits. Fumi has always displayed mysterious abilities, but will those powers be used for evil when she begins to truly awaken as a Queen?

Kyutaro and Fumi get a taste of just how formidable the Silver Sea Snake is, and so they set out to the Holy Ground of the Old Byakko Clan in order to get stronger. However, they’re in for an unwelcome surprise when they find out what this mysterious clan has in store for them!

Review:

The group is visited by a member of another clan in this volume, Akiyama. It's not a great introduction, and he brings them to a new test, of sorts. Training for them, in a way. This also starts off rather oddly.

Kyutaro and Ataru get separated from Fumi pretty early, and they're both on different paths to test their skills. It's kind of fun to see Kyutaro and Ataru trying to work together; Ataru is a fun character to me, honestly. And I just love the development of Fumi's character and her powers, and the queens inside of her. It's such a strong theme in this series, and I really love how it's progressing and being handled so far.

They're starting something potentially dangerous as the volume ends, and I'm excited to see where it goes next.

I really, really love this series. I admire the themes and a lot of the serious moments, and the strength in Fumi. She's such a badass heroine at this point. I can't wait to see what happens next.
