blairconrad's review against another edition
5.0
Started off a little slow. There was some building up of a minor (but important) character’s character, and some of what I felt was rehashing of events from the previous works. After that, though, woo-hah. Things picked up, more connections were made between existing characters and events, and the suspense-o-meter went through the roof – I think my heart was racing by the time I was done the book.
One other quibble – I’m not sure the translation’s all it could be; in one or two places, I think phrasing was off and/or the order of the speech bubbles (when one person was talking) was flipped within a panel, which is funny, since we are going from a right-to-left book to another right-to-left book. Ah well, nothing disastrous.
The minor slowdowns and recaps are getting a little annoying – I feel like in the end I’ll be saying that the 18 instalments would’ve been better as 12-15 or something, but the new content in each book more than makes up for it. I need some sort of mega collection of these things.

One of my favorite volumes so far! We dive deeper into two different characters, and like usual, the characterization is fantastic. It's easy to care about and root for these new perspective characters. I also love how the dots are connected in this volume. The mystery unfolds at the perfect pace, with answers being revealed as we figure out why these perspectives are included in the overall narrative. I love how all the different threads come together at the end. Fantastic voume!
