This trade did a lot of what I hate when reading something. It back pedals a bit on what has already been established and it takes a female character and puts her up a bunch of men who underestimate her time and time again. I know that's standard but when each male "bad guy" has to point out that she's a woman and they're not afraid of her nor do they think they can take her on, I want to throw the book.
What also got me was the random emphasis on almost every other word. I noticed it about halfway through the trade. Every sentence started sounding sarcastic and ridiculous if you tried reading every underlined or bold word the way it was probably intended. That's just obnoxious.
The highlight of this trade was the last page. Seeing my favorite magic user pop up in the last panel of the entire thing made me happy, but it doesn't necessarily mean I want to go read the next one.
