This volume covered Chloé's backstory and I really appreciate how the story makes you care about so many of the side characters too! The story and characters continue to be great

These snow globes (artwork at the start of each chapter) are so cute! I want one!!

The backstory of Chloé wasn't that interesting at first, but the ending of chapter 31 got me. 

Found it facinating that apparently most archivist have light hair and a light brown tone. 

The beast really looks sick! Know we saw it already in the last volume but personally I think we got a better sight of it for this volume. 

The part where Noé cried oh my!!! 
Give that boy some tissue :(


Even though the backstory was cool, it was almost only about that in this volume as the next fighting scene was cut off right at the end of this volume. As much as I like to get a deeper insight from a character I was still hoping for a bit of showing stuff (action, fights, etc.)

In this volume we fully meet the mysterious people from the previous volume that took Noé.

There's a really gross scene of Noé getting literally assaulted and drank from without his consent and it gave me a stomach ache, it was so icky.

At first I was like, wow I really don't give a single fuck about either of these people as we are getting Chloé's entire life story but eventually I was locked in. Her story with Jean Jacques, along with her friendship with August Ruthven was utterly fascinating and so atmospheric.

I feel like I am finally understanding a bit of the lore but then we get musical instruments automation hybrids, a machine experiment to change the world formula, and talking about a repeating pocket world in an alternate past and then I'm going HUH? Very creative I must say. I can truly say I've never seen anything like this.

Vanitas being super worried about Noé but not wanting to say it is so precious.

Five freakin stars. This volume was everything. I loved learning more about Chloe and Jean and Jeanne’s involvement with Chloe. Next volume should be lit honestly now that a lot came to light. 😍

I took my time reading this volume. We get insight on Chloe's past, as well as those who crossed her path in theirs. Of course, not everything is answered. And I'm so glad our boys were reunited!
SpoilerIt doesn't happen until the end, but it made me realize how much I missed their interactions with one another.
Looking forward to the next book.
