4.5*

I am so excited that I get to read another volume of this. It is rapidly becoming one of my favorites even though no one else is talking about it. I just love it so much. The art is amazing and the world is really starting to come together. It has been a bit since I read the last volume, but I was immediately brought back into the world and the characters. It finally feels like the romance elements of the series are gaining traction and I am so excited for them to bloom. The character interactions are so incredible and moving at times. And the political tensions that are a driving force for the overall story are so intriguing. I just love this series so much. It is everything I need in fiction and I want more.

I loved everything about this volume—the beautiful illustrations, the storyline, the pacing of the dialogue—all of it! I am looking forward to volume 4!

4.5 Stars

It is getting so so good! I'll be real that the plot is slow, but the romance is gr=etting so adorable that I am totally fine with it! Every vol, I add one more love interest for Ran (or me, lol). The political element and the slavery of beast folk are being explained and shown more, and I hope this leads to freedom.
I have more and more theories of how things can go, and I am so excited to continue reading this and discovering more about this world and the ROMANCE!

Side note: the book intro that explains the characters and the story was much cleaner and easier than past volumes, which was great!
