Kentaro Miura slows the pace down and looks at the relationships that have formed between the characters in another brilliant volume of the series. I really liked that we got some insight into Sonia's life and her motivations. I thought it was a nice touch showing us how human the enemy can be. The development of Schierke and Isidro was excellently done, I thoroughly enjoyed Isidro's fight on the docks and there are some very poignant involving Farnese. Some new characters introduced and others make their return which helps to spice up the volume and there is a lot comic moments thanks to Puck and the Pirates.
There is a slowness in this volume that is very refreshing after the frantic pace of the previous books. Kentaro takes his time to once again expanding on the world. He reintroduces nobles and all their scheming reminded me of the Golden Age arc. Everything is rendered in Kentaro's amazing artwork which perfectly captures the elaborate outfits of the nobles. The ending of this book is one of the best yet leaves you desperate to read the next volume.
