Anyone else take their time reading these volumes just to soak in the stunning artwork? Because same. I absolutely love the art in this series and kept catching myself flipping back just to admire certain pages all over again. It’s that good!

That said, while I’m still devouring this series, this volume felt a bit weaker than the others—not because it wasn’t enjoyable, but because not much really happens in terms of big plot movement. It felt more like a breather between major events, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it did make this volume feel slower compared to the rest.

Still, the characters and their interactions continue to shine, and the world remains just as immersive. Even when the pacing slows down, I find myself completely invested in Yona’s journey, and I’m more than ready for whatever comes next!
