Firetribe and Kai Empire planning an attack on the capital—love the new plot (loved Tae-jun defending the villagers)
Soo-won showing up and Yona still thinking about him… didn’t love (ik she’s going through a process of healing but i still don’t like how much that hurts Hak)

Beware of SPOILERS because there sure are a lot of them in this review! 

This volume is a bit shorter than the others (at least when it comes to the main plot). There isn’t much progression of the plot as we only get to see that Su-jin joined forces with Ri Hazara to take down Su-won. 

There still are some great moments when it comes to the main plot. One of them is after the festival night in that village where Jae-ha teases Hak how he couldn’t sleep beside Yona because he was afraid he couldn’t restrain himself (can you see how much I love Hak being teased about liking Yona?). Another one is when we get to see Tae-jun and he notices the Kai army but doesn’t back down and protects the field that they tidied with his own body. I love that this man became a genuinely good person now. 

And that’s pretty much it for the main storyline. There are two bonus chapters, the first one focusing on Ki-ja not wanting to bathe and Jae-ha thinking it’s because his father gave him scars on the back (which he did) and it turns out that it’s all just miscommunication because Ki-ja didn’t want to go bathe because there was a spider on him. The second one is shorter and it’s about how Ki-ja’s dad died and wanted to see his son for the last time. That one was kinda wholesome. 

So overall, this volume definitely wasn’t among the best - probably the least comedic volume so far. I’m giving it 3 stars because even though there are bonus chapters, they can’t save the fact that the volume as a whole was just not as enjoyable.

ce tome était un 4/5 mais les chapitres spéciaux était hyper drôle et émouvants donc 5/5 juste pour le chapitre du dragon blanc
