Goodreads Synopsis:


A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom… Now she must rise and fight for her throne!

Princess Yona lives an ideal life as the only princess of her kingdom. Doted on by her father, the king, and protected by her faithful guard Hak, she cherishes the time spent with the man she loves, Su-won. But everything changes on her 16th birthday when tragedy strikes her family!

After unleashing their powers to save Yona, the Four Dragons lose consciousness and collapse! Su-won and the Kohka army arrive to participate in a summit with Xing, but Priest Gobi’s anti-war faction members attack Princess Kouren! Can the nation of Xing achieve peace with all this infighting threatening its foundation?


Review:

 

After that very intense cliffhanger, the volume continues into battle. It's still intense, but that last moment is a little hard to compete with.

Yona is still going strong, fighting along with Kouren as much as she can. When Su-Won shows up, it's truly a moment to appreciate. He definitely knows how to stay diplomatic and how to handle people, and I can respect that. It's a little hard to tell what he intends with Yona in the end, and now with the dragons, but he's separating himself from it to an extend, very clearly.

After all of that, we finally get a confrontation between Yona and Hak. Man, this series got intense and progressive very suddenly!

I will admit I didn't expect it to happen like this, but oh man am I excited to see what happens in the next volume. I cannot wait.
