The search for the missing Hero, Ruti, has led all her party members to the remote region of Zoltan. Ares plots to use the girl for his own designs, but Red isn't willing to surrender his sister without a fight! This is a tale of a brother and sister who refuse the call to save the world and instead strive to forge a happy everyday life.
I really appreciate that the author doesn't feel the need to stretch things out unnecessarily. Relationships develop and conflicts resolve at a normal and satisfying pace.
Ares, Ruti, Shisandan and Red are on collision course. The conflict is unavoidable and spectacular. The easy life does not come easily. Some parts of the story might not be particularly original, but I like the twists and as in earlier parts the blessings, role of the Hero (and the Hero's history) and the Asura has me very curious. A great read with an intriguing world and great characters including villains. In the afterword the authors states they originally planned to end at volume 4, and the story certainly ends at a good point, but there are ample of questions left and I am both worried and eagerly looking forward to the next volume.
