Fresh off her success in the Six Nations War, Komari is invited to the Heavenly Paradise, a Far Eastern nation where cherry blossoms dance in perpetuity. There, she learns that one of her new allies, Karla Amatsu, is participating against her will in a weeklong ritual to determine the next ruler of the country. Always looking to shirk her duties, Komari writes the whole thing off as someone else’s problem…until Karla announces that the vampire girl will be assisting her in a battle to the death against the opposing candidate on the final day of the competition! But with multiple foreign parties attempting to influence the outcome of the proceedings and a terrorist plot developing in the background, can these two reluctant commanders really come out on top?!

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ultimately I enjoyed this one though I do think it started slowly. My main criticism, and this covers the whole series, is that the main characters are way too dense. They seem incapable of putting two and two together and when they do they come up with the wrong answer. It's been a fun series so far so I'll keep going however.

Loved this volume because I like Karla and there is a huge twist at the end that changes how you understand the whole book and sets up what to expect going forward. We get introduced to several more characters and their homelands (Prohellya of the Haku Goku Commonwealth and Leonna of Lapelico).
