In this volume of Saga I noticed that Hazel's narration became really poetic and beautiful again. I thoroughly enjoy her comments about her parent's lives and decisions and the overarching thoughts on interpersonal relationships and life in general. They beautifully tie everything together.

Generally, the plot once more takes numerous entertaining turns when Hazel begins her education and has to hide who she is or

when Alana and Marko meet again. I enjoy their dynamic so much!

The motivations behind the actions that cause these events are also a focal point of the narrative. Here, the distinctness of each character makes for a continuously surprising read. Pretty much each chapter displays one or more characters struggling with their position. And I loved it!

This volume is chock-full of action and beginnings of new interesting plot lines. We get to see Hazel's physical and mental growth, the new life that her grandmother makes for herself, new side characters that bring a lot of potential to the table, and Alana and Marko reunited. Old characters also return and are just as intriguing and fun to watch as ever, and it ends with a big plot point that setups a nice cliffhanger for the next volume. Great development for the story so far!

I find it so difficult to rate these volumes, because they contain such small segments of the overall story. I'm still intrigued to keep on reading though.

I didn't like the past few volumes, especially the last volume much. This is a very welcome return to form. The balance of drama and humor in this volume is really well done. Side plot threads and characters have got just the right amount of time allocated to them. All the plot threads have been woven together nicely with each other. Unlike the previous volume, I don't have any major issues with with this one. Just one minor issue, not enough Ghüs. Can't get enough of Ghüs. WE NEED MORE OF GHÜS. That's it.
