When even the author says it's going to hurt, you know it's going to be rough. Poor Astrea Familia.

7 years before Bell arrives in Orario to claim all the ladies' hearts, Astrea Familia was seemingly cultivating a very yuri atmosphere. This volume taking place during the Dark Era and chronicles Lyu's search for her own meaning of justice. I had some difficulty getting into this story, since I am aware of the outcome in a broad sense, and can assume that any unfamiliar character introduced ain't going to make it out the other end. Once the big bads are revealed, I became a bit more intrigued, but also equally confused. Guess I'll get some explanations if I keep reading. I had to force myself to stop thinking about character ages and world timelines for this series, as I could feel it would lead me nowhere good. Also, the gods themselves are the weakest link of the Falna system, so I am unsure why they are not better protected by their families.

I was really surprised by this novel. Lots of action and heart pounding action! I also enjoyed how the story jumps from one character(s) scene to another’s and how all the characters are intertwined. Talk about a twist at the end! Can't wait for book 2 to see where things lead.

Loved it. Great prequel story that gives us more insight into Lyu and her familia.
