This volume has a REALLY SHITTY non-ending. This is the 2nd book in my life I've ever encountered where there is no ending.
It's not cliffhanger, it's not "unsatisfactory" it's just unfinished, what a shitty publisher.

This is an automatic fail, a product that's not finished sent out to market, what a waste of time and money.

Good series though this book is short

Love his work but this book ends abruptly in the middle of the story. Not even an author afterward like normal. Guessing he had to split it and didnt find a way to wrap up the first half in a satisfying manner. Disappointing but i am looking forward to the next book.

The first 75% of the story is more of Fran's travel journal on her way to and in the capital of the Beastlands. The last 25% is one big battle. Since I am more of a fan of the travel journal, I really enjoyed the first part. The end was a bit of disappointment, not necessarily because of the cliff-hanger ending, but simply because it is a long drawn out fight with an ending that is fairly typical for the series. Can Fran ever rescue herself? Other then that, it was an entertaining read with the occasional eyeroll but that is no different from earlier parts.

Okay. This one was great. It starts out a bit slow, as Fran reaches the Beastman Continent, and kind of just wanders around a bit, but it gets pretty good when she goes to the village of her people and tries to get them to be more than the stigma attached to their race. Then gets incredibly epic when an army of monsters comes by to exterminate them and Fran fights to give them time to evacuate. This is the best book this series has had since the first few.

The first half felt like a long transition, which was a bit difficult to get into, especially since it's been a while since I read the last volume, and it starts very straight as a follow-up. It does build into a nice story and a cool battle. I was hoping Mea would show up again sooner, since she shares the cover and all, but I guess we'll know more about her and her maid later.

A 7hr audio book. Start of this book was a bit difficult to get into but by the end it all makes up for it, the fighting and ideas used were nice. I did find the humor in they finally used some skills they have not used in a book or two that I think were needed. Overall, I enjoyed the book and wonder if they will ever get this far in the anime... most likely not.

Uma invasão, um povo sem fé,seguindo a um novo futuro!

Esse volume é o melhor até agr. As cenas de ação são rápidas, intensas, e obriga nossos heróis a usarem tudo que aprenderam até agr.
E o final do volume é verocimil, mesmo sendo um pouco de Deus Ex Machina, mas é o do tipo bom.

Fun. Dubious in places.

If I am honest, I was getting a bit bored of this book series... until this book. It kept me off my seat in anticipation, waiting for what was next.

Muy lindo y con una batalla masiva, no se puede peidr mas :D La hija del rey es un personaje bienvenido y agradable. Me hubiera gustado que el nivel emotivo se manejara mejor en Fran pero no estuvo mal de todas formas. Los gatos negros fueron presentados como demasiado acobardados y no es muy lógico, toda raza esclavizada termina dañada pero sobre todo con odio, estos estaban exageradamente acobardados.
Puedo criticar mucho pero solo es porque me encanta todo en esta saga, es realmente buena y a mi gusto. Por eso me pongo denso en las criticas y aun sabiendo que son al dope pero tengo que dejar estas cosas en algun lado :v
La batalla del final es super intensa, me gusto mucho, siiii puedo criticar un poquito alli pero ya me canse de escribir, me gusto de todas formas :D
