Probably the most mediocre book in the series since Nisemonogatari. Feels like it largely exists to set up later entries and the series' pacing problems where the main plot does not really begin for more than half the book and the climax feels rushed.

It feels to me that this book is a set-up to future books. The resolution didn't feel like a resolution. Well, I don't read Monogatari for action and thrills anyway. I read it for the characters' antics. This volume had quite a few memorable scenes. I like seeing protagonists interacting with their family members instead of them being sidelined to the background or merely a mention in passing as if the protagonist has no family.

Also, I'm kicking myself even harder for not buying the Blu-ray when it was available on RightStuf Anime. Now, I'll probably never get to watch the bathroom scene legally ever again.secrereads's review against another edition

This monster tale marks the start of the final season in the series. Right from the start of the book I was instantly drawn into the story. I have to say I missed Araragi narrating the story and also some of the characters who make their return. I do have some unanswered questions which I'm hoping to find answers to in the next three volumes. In this tale we learn that Araragi has to pay a toll for how much he's used his power and that of Shinobu. If you have a chance to check out this volume I highly recommend it this is a 5 out of 5 for me.

I can't get enough of this series and it saddens me it will end at some point. The conversations as always were so on point. Then there were the twists that ended this volume with me begging for the next book.
Will continue to push this series as a must read!
