At this point in the series I'm so grateful for both TV Tropes and Wikipedia because I'm borrowing these books from an out-of-town library, one by one, so the huge cast and many many years the story spans are getting pretty tricky to remember. Will definitely have to buy this series one day, because it's still super interesting! Don't want to spoil anything, can only recommend giving the series a try.

This volume was nicely written, but it was really boring.

This series continues to delight. I loved the opening stories, which included a highly satisfying love story. I thought the remaining stories would be less interesting, but I ended up caring about and thinking about the inner thoughts and feelings of all the characters in this volume. In addition, the art does a wonderful job of identifying individuals, even across many decades.

The art is great as ever, but the story is getting even more epic but I am finding it a bit tricky to keep track of who is the leader, names and such...

The stories continue to develop and more complex relationships between men, women and ruler and subject create very interesting plots and intrigues both in and out of the inner chambers.
Each volume tackles some fairly serious subject matter, this volume including amongst it's pages incest, murder and rape. So, those who are looking for a light-hearted shojou manga should perhaps pass on this one. Those who are bored by the typical hi-jinx of such manga should check out this series.
