This feels like it's so better than the first book already. The internal struggle between Diva and Vivy? Saeki's whole subplot? It's getting better and I'm excited to read the final book in the series.
The Metal Float part was very good, but the second part with Diva felt very stretched. Matsumoto didn't feel as lively as in the first novel. :( But overall a good read, on the to the next volume~
I loved reading this. The differences between this and the anime for the Grace arc help highlight how different mediums can be used to tell the same story in different ways. I do wonder how the changes here will impact the following arcs, and I'm excited to read more!
