I loved seeing Yor work. This volume was a great combination of action and comedic moments that I find really sums up the Spy x Family world. Yor's work really highlights just how dangerous she can be but it is balanced out with her being such a kind and caring person which this volume shows really well.

It was also funny to watch Anya and Loid try their best to have a holiday but always seem to find themselves among something.

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.
