irayred's review against another edition
4.0
"You know... I was probably already dead back then. Maybe I was allowed to live only for the sake of this moment. […] I’m grateful to you. Thank you, Clare. I'm glad I met you."
4.5/5
The fight against Rigaldo made Clare awakened her 4 limbs that improved her strength, speed and power. But everything comes with a price, so after fighting against him and finally defeating him, she asks Helen to kill her so she dies a human instead of a full awakened yoma. Instead, Jane sacrifices herself in order to make Clare go back to her human form, but it ends up in another death that hits close home.
I have to admit I cried in this volume because all my favorite characters died in a shocking way and they couldn’t do nothing about it. Even the death of Undine felt so frustrating, because she was just a girl who wanted to become strong, so others wouldn’t die on her.
But I guess that’s just the way the remaining soldiers have to live: with the responsibility to avenge the fallen, the ones that sacrificed themselves in order to protect what they believed in.
The organization doesn’t seem to care about any of them, and they’re already planning on getting more ‘new Claymores’, as if the others were mere disposable trash.
I think that Isley and Priscilla are together because they have a sense of what’s wrong with the organization, so they might not be entirely on the wrong side. Oh, and last but not least, we get introduced to the remaining Creature of the Abyss: Luciela of the South!

So much action and so many mysteries. One question answered, leaves many more asked. Looking forward to reading the next volume to find out more!

So we start off with the big fight against Lion-O, I mean.. Rigaldo? Something that sounds like a posh pasta, anyway to make a long story short he gets his kitty-cat self shredded to tagliatelle, but not before taking out pretty much all the Claymore but our favourite-favourites!
And then they are killed too.
No one said the manga played fair...
We meet Alicia and Beth, the number 1 & 2 of the organization respectively and wow do they pack a whammy!! Twins always do have that little extra edge of creepy!
Also Isley of the North is now doing the Rumble Rumba with Luciela of the South.
Aren't we meeting so many new friends in this book?
My odds lie strictly with Isley, I think poor Luciela's going to be doing a quick time exit come next volume.
One way to find out, on to the next volume!

Not that I believe it for a second! I suspect they pulled a fast one and have hunkered down somewhere till they can regroup! "But how?", you ask? "I donno", I reply, but they have, I just know it!We meet Alicia and Beth, the number 1 & 2 of the organization respectively and wow do they pack a whammy!! Twins always do have that little extra edge of creepy!

Mind you, when you have two people relying on each other for support, that makes them also twice as easy to disrupt, bet you, bet you, something like that will happen later!Also Isley of the North is now doing the Rumble Rumba with Luciela of the South.

I still don't really know what's going on, but I like it anyway.
