While I get it's fun to play up the love triangle aspect, that when even your assistants are forming teams, it's easy to lean into that push and pull, but I think in this volume we can see how it's possibly to the detriment of the plot. I don't think they should be dragging around a near-comatose Sett like this, and I hate how Azure is forced to accept all of Nina's whims. It isn't cute at this point. That and how Sett's brother's loyalties keep shifting and spinning, as well as the shallowness of the bad guy's plot, are bringing down the overall quality of the series, and I hope it picks back up soon.
