Volume 13 is very much a cosy quiet slice-of-life before the (final) storm. The Harvest Festival is quickly approaching and the gang decide to run stalls, interspersed with a bit of romance and the simple problems of Zoltan. We as a reader also see the storm approaching when for a handful of pages we switch to certain characters approaching Zoltan. I really enjoyed it. Not much progress (if any) in the overall plot, but I like cosy slice-of-life, and considering the cover art of v14 the end of the series is approaching quickly, so I don't begrudge the author letting us enjoy the scenery a bit on this trip. Still, if you want action and/or plot progress this volume might be a bit light.
