I felt that the story dragged on a lot. As if the author is trying to extend word count. There's a lot of fillers and unnecessary explanation of the world on what Brigitte was thinking/reasoning. Book one was not like this; it was more straight to the point - plot point after plot point - so I was pretty disappointed that it's become such a drag. I would not be continuing with this series.
Th pacing was a little too slow. Way too much time spent on repeated inner thoughts/ feelings. The translation was a bit off in some parts of the story especially in the way Yuri responded to Brigette. But I did enjoy their growth as a couple towards the end of the story and look forward to the next volume.
