ON THE RUN!Determined to save Marya from the clutches of the church, Ivy and her party flee from the village with her. Along the way, they have a joyful reunion with Ciel, who has brought the members of Zephyr to join them! With these strong adventurers by their side, they take advantage of their time out in the wild to go on a loot-collecting journey in caves along the way. But when they decide to settle down in one of the caves, they're found yet again! Will Ivy and her friends ever be able to leave the church in the dust...or are they doomed to run forever?
The journey continues, this time nothing significant happens although there is a bit of a struggle with the loose ends from earlier events. As earlier volumes in the series I like it for the characters, while not paying too much attention to the world building since it keeps feeling odd at times (and you must have no problems with corrupt nobles and church, but that is nothing new either). So, for me it was an enjoyable read even if I would have preferred a bit more focussed plot.
Zephyr team is back, I like those three... and their help comes in handy with everything that's going on.
Such a coincidence what happens with Marya... I wonder what they will discover when they meet once again.
