Review:

 

This volume continues with an ongoing arc, by jumping into a battle against a bug maid. This takes up a good portion of the volume, as it delves into another, harder fight. It appears that two groups are coming together to fight Jaldaboath, and working with the town to win. It doesn't appear that everyone is fully on the same side, however.

I jumped into this volume with zero idea of what I was getting into. I apparently had a very different impression of what this series even was, and have no context for these characters or how this world works.

Overall, I'm not much of an action fan, and the battles weren't interesting to me. Possibly the tiny bit of characterization we got from Evileye, or the backstabbing of the royal family. But otherwise, this just wasn't for me. Meh.
