I've only just found out that this series is almost over! There's only one more volume after this! AAH! -panicked flailing and screaming-
The characters are in place, the disaster is nigh, and I don't want these characters to die! (I mean, jeez, Four only just made some friends.) It's completely up in the air at this point on what's going to happen. Either the heroes are going to pull out a miraculous win due to plot armor or everything is going to horribly wrong and most (if not all) of them are going to die. Doesn't get more 'final showdown' than this.
I’m really wondering how the story is going to wrap up all the loose threads in only one more volume. This one did have some interesting who is the real good/bad guy info though.
