An Enjoyable Installment

With new scenery and a new threat revealed, this new book shows Miyo and Kiyoka settling into married life while meeting Kiyoka's extended family and discovering their dark history. Meanwhile, a new danger appears from the Western world, where the Gifts have a different flavor. This book has a different tone than the previous ones, but I enjoyed stepping out and seeing a bit more of this world

Yo creo en el amor por ellos.
Pero si tengo varias cosas que decir al respecto al libro que como tal no son malas pero que sí considero importante mencionarlo por si alguien está debatiéndose en si leerlo o no.
Comenzando con el breve contexto este volumen es la continuación un tanto directa del libro 7 (porque recordemos que el 8 fue muy ??? al habernos ofrecido relatos que no aportaron mucho en su mayoría). Aquí nos van a narrar lo que pasa con (ahora sí) el matrimonio de Miyo y Kiyoka y los problemas que van surguiendo.

Puntos a favor:
1. Me encantó la construcción de su relación entre ellos, pues a diferencia de lo que se venía viendo anteriormente, se puede notar que han crecido como personajes en cuanto a lo emocional. Aunque no todo es bueno y ya lo mencionaré más adelante.
2. La nueva trama de Eugene y Diana me pareció un punto súper interesante porque expanden el mundo al revelar que los dones existen en todo el mundo y te deja con la intriga de saber cómo es que todo eso funciona y cómo afecta ahora a los protagonistas.
3. Los nuevos personajes, además de los que ya mencioné creo fueron un buen acierto porque resultan interesantes y cumplen un propósito claro en la trama, o al menos hasta el momento.
4. Todo el lore de la familia de Kiyoka , que resulta un tanto perturbador, y su relación con ciertos hechos del pasado, es simplemente interesante y aunque puede resultar conveniente no importa.

Puntos a mejorar
1. Aunque dije que la relación me gustó, creo que hay varias cosas por mejorar, sobre todo en la parte de Kiyoka, que creo lo hicieron un tanto caricaturesco en cuanto a lo que respecta a Miyo. Digo entiendo porqué fue ese cambio pero aún así me resulta extraño el hacerlo ver así cuando teníamos una imagen diferente al inicio de la historia al describirlo como alguien formidable.
2. Su inicio es un poco flojo y cuesta agarrar el ritmo, lo bueno empieza casi a la mitad.
3. El final siento que pudo haber agregado algo más, se siente un poco apresurado; que igual cumple con la función de dejarnos picados con la historia pero cómo pueden dejarnos así, hay mucho por explicar aún.

The narrative changes a lot here as we're no longer focused solely on Miyo and her experiences to find her happy ending. Miyo and Kiyoka are much more comfortable together, though it seems Kiyoka may not be as retired from his military career as he had hoped. Even Godou ends up joining the fray as his old classmate seems to be in the middle of this new commotion trying to draw Miyo away. Kiyoka gets a good scare in the process, though it seems Miyo is doing well as far as her own abilities go. She's doing much better around other people as well, proven by how the rest of the women in the extended family seem to adopt her so quickly. A far better response than what they receive from the men, who seem to need a rather severe wake up call given their actions and the unfolding story of their own history. For all that these new characters portray themselves as easy going and accepting, they don't seem to have any intention of truly honoring Miyo's choice.

Quite new perspective in the story. Love how open and comfortbale Kiyoka and Miyo are with each other now. I also welcomed more story around Godou and his past.
The only dissapointing thing is that the story arc isn't finished and now I need to wait for a full year until the English translation of number 10 comes out.
