Der Werwolf volume 3 was my first light novel read in a few months and pulled me back in with ease. The volume is about Veight trying to unify the remaining cities of the southern region and it reads like two short stories, one involving the southern coastal cities and the other about the northernmost border city. The volume involves the usual mix of diplomacy, strategy and action that I've come to expect from the series but there's less tension than in previous books as the stakes are lower. The story is still quite enjoyable though and is a good break from the much higher tension story from volume 2.

Not as strong a volume as the previous one, but that really set quite the high bar so it's understandable. This installment of Der Werwolf continues to provide the lovely world-building that first attracted me to it in this volume as the protagonist explores very different locales from a pirate port to a labyrinthian town in his quest for world subjugation.
Der Werwolf is a pretty unique proposition where the hero isn't the top dog and continually presents himself as a much more humble person than his reputation. Nevertheless, he still comes with the aspect of pulling off crazy feats surpassing his peers common sense and this disjoint that results makes for quite the fun read.
Der Werwolf also hosts a lively cast of characters, with more introduced every volume that make their own impact. This volume is no exception with the introduction of yet another of Veight's fellow disciples, who is literally a talking, walking skeleton with a penchant for bad puns or jokes. Thankfully enough, the writer lets him serve his purpose and fades out afterwards, but definitely there are some groan-inducing lines in here.

There was only one small scene that bothered me, but because it bothered me so much, I'm going to mention it here for whoever cares to read it.
So, random woman has dragonkin watch her baby while she helps sick elderly neighbor (the human gave me her hatchling!) Eventually human woman comes back, gets her baby, thanks dragonkin. Dragon kin ask about neighbor's health, woman replied: "He's fine, it was only a seizure'. Uh... wuht? 'ONLY' a seizure? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything like that! On him? He's just having a seizure, he's fine... Seriously... a fainting spell or something would have been more believable.

I'm still enjoying this series but I knocked off one star versus the previous volumes only because this was a slower volume overall for me (even if it's necessary world-building) and because I wasn't a big fan of Parker, who's introduced in this volume. I read this series for Veight, and by far my favorite scene in this book is the crazy stunt he pulls against a kraken, which made me laugh out loud. Though the demon army took a heavy blow at the end of volume 2, things are looking up for them after this volume.

Honestly, this volume is kinda a let down. While there are still a few good moments but story wise there are not that many things happening.
It is still good though, the action is well written as always and the writing is flowing from one thing to another flawlessly.
An Interesting thing to note is, Veight illustration when he transform has changed into a bonafide werewolf now, unlike at the previous volume where he is depicted as an oversized wolf. Personally, I prefer the previous one

Good ending to the story arc. It ended with of course the demon army taking the south by diplomatic means instead of force.
The ending doesn't build up much for volume 4 but here is to hoping volume 4 will be good too.
