~4 Stars

The group makes a stop in a water tribe village, where there are nefarious things happening at night. Jaeha experiences this first hand, unsurprisingly. They discover that people are being tricked into a drug addiction that makes them crazy, and of course they need to find out who's doing it and how to stop it.
We meet the water tribe princess here, Riri, as she has a tendency to sneak out. She wants to do things, to explore and learn, but she's always being held back. She's also not taught anything helpful, much like Yona used to be. For her, seeing Yona is rather surprising, and gives her an image of what she wants to be. It's inspiring.
This series has so many comedic moments, sure, but it does the inspiring ones, the thoughtful and impressive moments, just as good. And there are quite a few here, as we see Yona standing up for what she believes in, and fighting even when things are against her. She's surviving, as she has learned to do.
I just love this series so completely. Every volume is amazing, and a thing of art, and I need more in my life.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

This series as always is an amazing read never a dull moment always something interesting going on. The characters are great as always they have come a long way I really like Riri so far she is interesting she is completely different from Yona she is how Yona may have been under different circumstances. I loved the plot they are now in a water tribe town and things are off one of them gets affected by something so they investigate find out things and are now trying to get the drugs out the water tribe looking forward to reading more.
