Not my favourite in the series, but after reading the last 5 pages, I really need the next one!

Warnings: violence, suicide
Rep: neurodiverse main character
With Amonlogia days away, the Mud Whale has a new set of worries. They have learned the truth about the Daimones, and it has simultaneously triggered Ouni's powers to come back in an uncontrollable manner. As they are all looking towards their future, the Mud Whale is having their past pour out in a torrent. We learn about the fate of Dyo and Miden, about what the Commander Shuan is and why he is LIKE THAT, and a heartbreaking end for one of the secondary characters. Also, am I crying about the heartbreaking twist to Ouni's story, with his desire to one day see the world aside from the Mud Whale being crumbled? Yes. The story on the Mud Whale is tinged with tragedy and the hope it nevertheless grew out of it. Meanwhile, over in the Empire, part of Orca's past is revealed as we learn more about his current machinations. There seems to be a storm on the horizon for the Mud Whale, as they are unknowingly rushing into an ambush that could be set up by the Empire's forces or their very existence being perceived as a threat by Amonlogia. In all, a volume that answers many questions about the past, and raises new fears for their future.
