I'm not sure what it is with light novels I've read recently, but the constantly shifting points of view are rather jarring. On the other hand, we get insights into the interactions that might otherwise be missed, even though it also means we're covering the same ground over again from another point of view in many instances. If you can keep all of that straight and focus on the story itself, this is another enjoyable installment to the series. Eric and Leia are finally getting married, but there are several hurdles in their path before they can say "I do." Perhaps the most impressive difference in the series in the change in Jill with this installment. Her character growth is amazing, and it's nice to see how the sister's relationship has changed since the beginning. We even finally get confirmation for another main relationship that perhaps we'll see more of in the future. Linny's brother is a bit of a loose canon too, but oddly seems to have several things in common with Eric, just with a very different way of going about them.
