Review:
This volume was an unexpected side-trip for me. We finally get to see
what Zeno's power is, and thus what his history is. It's much more
than I expected, and takes us on quite a journey. It makes me respect
his character a lot more, and makes me want to give him a hug—so
it's nice that all of the characters, especially Yona, give him
several in this volume.
This is also one of the first times in this series that the violence
was truly felt. The dragons and Hak have been in several fights
before this, but truly seeing the way that Zeno gets cut up, is
horrific. It's perfectly fitting and gives a really good impact,
given the story and the other characters' reactions. Yona's horror, in
particular, is very real.
It's been a long time since we've been reminded of what the crimson
dragon means, and what the potential of it for Yona could mean. The
back story on this was very interesting, and the path that Zeno takes
to meet the current dragons and the new crimson dragon, makes me
really curious where this is leading next. It's a lot of potential
for Yona to grow into.
I'm excited to see where the story goes from here. This was a lot of
important information, with some key moments. And getting to see the
dragons—mainly the Blue Dragon, but also Gija—as little kids makes me so happy.
They're so cute!
