This takes a bit of a turn for the confusing with the new characters.

I don’t think I can give this series anything less than a four at this point. I’m also having a very hard time telling by cover which volume is which; the last four have been way too similar.

The serious plotline had been getting a little boring, even if the book was still enjoyable, but it was actually pretty exciting in this volume. There was only one, short smut scene in this volume, and it was near the beginning. Because then the group goes to meet the person in charge of the town, and Vald gets stuck with Limris in some alternate realm, and what happens is kind of horrible. Limris has some bad plans, it has become apparent. But Vald and Havi are staying strong, which is very nice.

The serious plotline is getting exciting, the humor is still very nice and funny, and the relationships and romance are fantastic. This series is just lovely. I really want to read the next volume, but I do know that it might be quite a while before it even gets released in Japan, sadly.

Book Review 

Title: Crimson Spell Vol. 5 by Ayano Yamane 

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, LGBT 

Rating: 4.5 Stars 

Volume 5 continues in the space time realm where Rimris and Vald are currently trapped although they have managed to escape from Astador for now. Throughout the past couple of volumes we have seen Vald changing slowly, now whenever he changes to his demon form we see these white wings emerge before the demon that seem almost angelic which might hint at something hidden within the demon’s nature that we haven’t seen yet or something with Vald himself. 

Rimris has sealed himself and Vald in a separate part of the space time realm and we learn he was the lover of Vald’s father in order to receive visions of the future and in order to get his powers back he needs Vald to help him being of the same bloodline. However, sex without feelings is something that Vald isn’t able to do despite it being to help a friend and ally of his Kingdom as his heart belongs to Havi. 

In a moment of rage, Vald is able to destroy the outer barrier allowing Havi to enter that space to save him but Rimris simply walks out leaving both Havi and Vald behind in the space time realm. Havi immediately begins looking for the barrier but the entire space is infested with demons and they can’t keep fighting through them. Havi notices the barrier in on Vald and begins breaking it but this is a painful process that Havi has to guide Vald through in order to return them. When they do return they realise that something is controlling people of the Imperial Fortress but only at night and they have to get to the bottom of it.

Dang it! I'm caught up on a series that releases a new volume every two years. The wait for the next one might kill me.
