[Nick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Super fast paced volume. Read 120 pages in one day. Has the big fight between Monika Nike, boss of the Lylat Kingdom’s spy agency. Ends with Klaus meeting with the head of Serpent, a Lylat noble, who is more of a figurehead. Next book is set up to investigate who is really behind Serpent, which is revealed to be Arthur of LWS the rebel group in Lylat.

Also most openly yuri between Nike, Thea, and Monika damn.

Thea is my favorite character early on the series but now Monika has definitely risen to that spot too. Her character development is definitely the best in the series.
