This third volume perfectly tied up everything that happened in the first 2 volumes. Every character is explained enough, the plot wraps up, and the action scenes are exquisitely illustrated. Bravo!

Co to autism if an incredible 5-star volume 1! The only reason I docked it points was because a character that was heavily focused on in volume 1 isn’t really seen in volume 2 and felt a little jarring. Overall, still amazing and exciting!

A great single-volume story! I was confused in the first half, but as the story unravels at the end everything makes sense. The art and action are incredible and I’m happy I read it!

If you haven’t read it before, know it’s a rather simple story that fills out with emotion, detail, and sorrow. The thoughts and feelings of our 3 speaking characters are all done in such a way that you can easily picture it in your head. This is an amazing listen, but not lighthearted in the slightest.

Very interesting story with memorable characters and an easy-to-picture world. I personally have some gripes with the inaccurate and modern view in historical clothes (mainly her corset), but other than that it was a very interesting read. The relationship reminds me a bit of Bridgerton S2 if you like the slow burn.

This is the most relatable thing I think I’ve ever read. I love how each guy responds to his clumsiness in different ways and we get to see what each character is thinking. The color pages associated with each character are great too!
