The relationship between Havi & Vald just keeps getting better!

I love seeing Vald grow bolder in professing his love for Havi and the progression of the transformation into the beast is speeding up. I’m definitely curious to see how this series ends!

I am still a surprisingly big fan of this series.

Vald is coming to the realization of what is really happening to him, including his feelings regarding Halvir. I am so glad that those feelings have become apparent to them all, and am just generally happy about their relationship. They’re smutty and intense, and I love it.

One serious plot line has kind-of-maybe ended, and now something else has come up, with a new cliffhanger. I am actually enjoying these plots, they are a little surprising and exciting, but I’m mostly reading this for the romance and smut.

I am excited for the next volume, to see where the cliffhanger goes, but also just for more smut (the smut in this series is fantastic, really), as well as to see where their relationship advances to next.

Da es sich hier um den 3. Teil einer Reihe handelt möchte ich aus Spoilergefahr nichts zum Inhalt sagen. Wer die Reihe nicht kennt und gern wissen möchte worum es genau geht, schaut bitte meine Rezi zu Band 1 an.
Dieser Band war super spannend von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Ich liebe diese Reihe einfach. Wer Fantasy, Schwertkampf, Dämonen, Magie gepaart mit heißen BoyLove-Szenen mag, sollte sich die Reihe unbedingt mal anschauen.
Die Freigabe ab 18 ist absolut gerechtfertigt. Die erotischen Szenen sind sehr heiß und teilweise explizit. Aber wie oben schon gesagt wird der Manga absolut nicht darauf reduziert sondern bietet auch eine richtig tolle und spannende Handlung mit jeder Menge Action.

Meine Wertung:
5 von 5 Sternen

Book Review 

Title: Crimson Spell Vol. 3 by Ayano Yamane 

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, LGBT 

Rating: 5 Stars 

Volume 3 finally brings in the major plot over the comedy and smut elements of this series and it really increased my enjoyment level. Havi and Vald manage to escape from the demon with the help of their friends but they are left with both physically and mental scars of the encounter. Afterwards, Havi and Vald talk because Vald realises his own selfishness allowed Havi to weakened emotionally which was necessary for his brainwashing and he wants to repair their relationship but he can’t come to terms with the demon inside him. 

Despite Havi and Vald sleeping together while Vald is completely in control he can’t lose sight of why he left his kingdom to begin with and he thinks that cutting Havi off is the best way. Vald also does something really stupid here and unlocks a magically sealed door freeing Rimris from his imprisonment. While he does seem to help them and look out for Vald we aren’t sure where his allegiance really lies right now. However, while Vald was out of control, Ruruka used up a lot of energy trying to save his friend and the only thing that can save him is the fruit given by a dragon. Marse tries to summon a dragon like he did before but another arrives in its place and agrees to take Vald to the fruit. 

Rimris sensing something is up goes with them and the pair of them fall into a trap. This trap isn’t hard to escape but it hits home for Havi how reckless and thoughtless Vald is about Havi’s feelings even through he has claimed the same of Havi. In response, Havi decides to work for a local city as a sorcerer and seemingly abandons Vald on his journey to break the curse. Vald goes to extremes in order to speak with Havi and soon realises the error in his ways which ends up with them sleeping together again although it is Vald that initiates it this time which is real big up in his development. While it has started the repair of their relationship there is still a long way to go before they are back on even ground again.

Holy crap. I already liked the first two volumes, but this was absolutely fantastic. Angsty and then incredibly hot (seriously). And with a cliffhanger! God, I hope the fourth volume really comes out this month.
