Dieser Band führt alles zum ersten großen Finale und lebt wirklich von all dem Aufbau, den die vorherigen Teile geleistet haben. Der Antagonist muss nicht erst eingeführt werden, sondern ist sofort eine perfekte Bedrohung und man kann ihn weiter erforschen, was zu ein paar geilen Szenen führt. Ich fand die Kämpfe auch weit spannender, als im letzten Band, weil viele Nebenfiguren beleuchtet wurden.
(+)
- Das Mysterium um Faulheit hat dem Geschehen eine andere Ebene gegeben
- Im Reread coole Details
- Subarus Rolle als Anführer sorgt für spannende Charaktermomente
(-)
- Die erste Hälfte war wieder sehr langsam

This seems like a good stopping point in the story. It's pretty clear that there will be no actual end for a looong time. Every time Subaru accomplishes some impossible task another pops up to block his way forward. If it were me in his place, my will would be broken. A little more foreshadowing might help.

3.5/5.
In this 8th volume, we have Subaru and Co. fighting against the Witch Cult.
Sloth aka Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti is the kind of villain I despise. I truly feel sick to my stomach every time the appears, since it is a character I do not understand at all.
He feels "love" for the Witch, but doesn't hesitate on killing innocent people for all that matter.
He is a mad man that has the power of the Unseen Hands and with his allies —known as the Fingers, he attacks the village near the Manor where Emilia is.
The volume itself is Subaru and Co. trying to get people out of there, to prevent an attack and save as many lives as possible. Basically that's all that happens. Now, I must say that even though the last 50 pages were really entertaining, it wasn't the best volume of the series.
What I did like was the fact that Wilhelm is such a powerful character and I'm glad he has his own spin-off (which I'll be reading next). He is the kind of character I truly admire and respect, and he becomes a pillar in Subaru's strenght, someone to look up to.
Felix/Ferris and Julius are there too, and they take a big part on Subaru's way of acting.
They become something more than just allies against common foes —they're now like friends. They also are a way of making Subaru grow, since they're are helping him to see the whole picture. How can they beat something that they cannot control? That's the big question.
Also, can we talk about Emilia beating one Finger on her own? I really liked that! I wish she could have more action scenes. I wonder how powerful Puck actually is when she's threatened (I know we got a glimpse when he froze everything and even killed Subaru in the process, but you know what mean).
On a side note: does Ferris can get back from the dead too? And I completely forgot where Rem is...
Anyway, there are still a lot questions to be answered, but I hope we can get them in the next volume!
