I love Asada, so naturally I love this book. It also happens to be the longest book so far in the series so it's a decent bit of content. Kyouji is something. The book details a bit more of his interaction with Asada.

It's not a great sign when you have to get to the fifth or sixth book in a series to start enjoying it, but this one wasn't too bad.

This has definitely been the best arc since the original SAO storyline. It was incredibly interesting, witty, and well executed. I wish it had been longer.

If you've enjoyed the series so far, I think you'll enjoy this book too. I know I did. This is a very exciting conclusion to the arch that began in volume 5 and it comes to an amazing conclusion that I was literally jumping up and down about even though I watched the anime first and thus knew what was coming. This volume does some amazing development of Kirito and Sinon both and carries a lot of emotional punch to it.
