I'm so glad this volume is more focused and JAM PACKED with action, suspense, and thrills. I do enjoy when the characters get a chance to really dive into their emotions; Yor, while sometimes ditzy, has very intriguing motivations and thoughts. I generally find it funny how often I prefer less of Anya and more of Twilight & Yor, but they really do have the more intriguing backstories given Anya's has been teased and never really revisited. Can't wait to see the conclusion yo their cruise adventures in the next volume; we'll hopefully also get back into the meat of Operation Strix at school.

I’m absolutely biased. Yor is out to her personal and professional limit and I loved every single moment, including side plots and gags.

This is the single bloodiest and violent volume of Spy X Family that I have read so far. Most of the volumes of this book I would certainly recommend to many if their kid wanted to read something that’s mostly family friendly but still action packed. The presence of family is really important here but the literal violence depicted goes through the roof in this volume. Maybe only give this particular volume to a 12-13 year old at the youngest.

This volume is just full of fun hijinks, as well as the spotlight for everyone's favorite, Yor. The whole family trapped on a cruise ship while Anya tries to help Yor just makes for fun reading. Loid relaxes a bit in this one too, thanks to Anya. She's still the most entertaining part of this whole series. Her reactions and interactions with the other characters is really what makes it great.
