It’s very strange to judge this own it’s own, separate from the rest of the series. It’s certainly my least favorite volume so far, but it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting in regards to the past/backstory of the main characters. I think the pacing worked better as a web serial, because often the transitions across tiem and space didn’t work for me. At the scene/moment, level, the book is quite good, but as a story it doesn’t quite hold together. The characters are still great, but it feels like they spend the volume spinning their wheels. Overall it’s a solid entry in a good series - if this is the worst part of the series, I’d be impressed overall.
