This was a solid volume, packed to the brim with action. And finally, FINALLY we get some answers as to who this witch is that Guideau is hunting and why she's such a threat. We also get backstory on how Guideau and Ashaf met, which was also neat. The artwork was pretty strong, though I felt it lacked a bit in certain scenes, and the worldbuilding continues to grow. I have no idea how Ashaf is going to teach Guideau "love" or even what kind of "love" he intends to educate her on, but I'm curious to find out.

Not much else to say, this was a great volume.

My review of Vol. 1 gives an overall insight into my feelings on this series.

A volume between arcs can sometimes be cumbersome, slow, and feel like filler. This volume did not do this and gives us a great insight into the origin story of our reluctant duo. A great connecting volume between two amazing arcs.
