~4/5
The pace in this series is excellent. Everything we see is important, and it’s all given enough time to develop, for us to understand (and grow attached or hate if it’s a character), without it being too much. I actually wouldn’t mind some meandering for character development, for relationship growth, which is why the extras are nice to have, but that’s still not a complaint.
So Shion, with Rat, is learning more about No. 6, including the people before it existed and the people living underground who Rat knows. Shion’s mother has some connection to it, and I’m intrigued to see where that goes. Rat also has a surprising part in it—or, a very bad part in it. The things we’re finding out are bad, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it’s all leading up to.
At the same time, something is going on with Shion. Something possibly bad, something that I’m looking forward to finding out about. Which leads to the cliffhanger, and that should be exciting, as their plan goes forward some more.
Meanwhile, Dogkeeper is pushed to help Shion and Rat. This could lead to some bad things, we’ll see. But also, I love seeing her with the kid that Shion has left her with. I like that she’s begrudging about it, but she does it anyway, and she even names the kid Shion. She doesn’t act like much of a mother, but she really could be, and it’s nice seeing this side of her.
This series is exciting, steadily moving forward, and I’m fully enjoying it.
