Goodreads Synopsis:
The truth of what
happened three years ago comes to light, as the past Ciel sought to
erase is thrust back into his face. The revelations shake the
Phantomhive manor to its foundations, and even Sebastian, the resident
devil, can only look on in admiration at the consummate gamesmanship at
play. The Phantomhive blood, it would seem, runs thick with the thirst
for vengeance...
Review:
This was kind of a crazy volume to read.
We get to the end of the back story, and then the rest of the reveals
happen. We find out how this “real” Ciel is here, what happened
that our Ciel doesn't know, and what he's been doing behind the
scenes to ruin things for our Ciel. Some of it, I think, is supposed
to make sense but kind of just feels convenient. And then there's
this moment with Elizabeth that I just hate. I truly love her, and I
love her and Ciel together, and I do not like this new stance of
hers. I'm not okay with any of this.
Everything is turned over on Ciel's head and twisted to make him seem
terrible, and it's honestly one of the few times we get to see him
truly shaken. He can't protest to much of this, and he doesn't even
really know how to react at first. It takes a bit for it to really
hit him and for him to decide what to do about it.
I will admit that I think some of this plot has lost its momentum at
this point. I was behind it at first, but now it's lost me a little bit.
I'm still going to stick with it, and I want to know where it's going
next, but I'm not as behind all of this as I was previously.
