So with volume 10 we finally get the semi-final and final of the Gryps tournament. So there are a number of pages devoted to these battles. Even then they still felt a bit rushed. But that feeling that the Asterisk War books have just felt too short to me is a running theme in my reviews. So maybe it is just me.
There are bits of world building in between that are decent enough and move things forward rather than just let the book rest on the tourney. Even so, nothing stands out spectacularly.
But now that Team Enfield has won, I hope we get some wishes being granted in the next volume (or two). Hope our library gets volume 11 soon.
Verdict: If you've read up through 9 you already know what to expect, if that's your cuppa, keep going. If not, why are you here?
Lots of fighting, the best parts are in between when the author tries to develop the back story. He didn’t even make an effort to make the story unpredictable. While fun, you won’t remember this volume
