Vol 5 felt like it took an ETERNITY to come out. The wait, as always, was worth it. Though It's 4 stars because I felt the Knights of Kruza weren't nearly as interesting as anything written before. ESPECIALLY considering in this volume an absolutely massive bombshell has been dropped that, in reality, This sort of worldbuilding is exactly the type of thing that keeps me reading. My beloved S&W universe getting more lore... Not to mention Col & Myuri one upping the OGs in their marks in the world. Bliss.
Not the best of the series, many elements seemed thrown in kinda randomly, only to build up into nothing. In the end, there wasn't that much evolution from most characters. At least Col and Myuri can finally put a word on their relationship but we still have to see how it plays out.
