10/5 stars.

“Live. Return home. But how? If only I were as strong as a host of men. No. I can surely still fight. The most powerful man alive granted me strength, and that remains in my hands.”


After the strife of the last couple of chapters it was nice having my soul returned to my body.

If the previous volume focus on Hak and his growth and struggles with the current situation, this volume was its mirror as it focus on Yona and her struggles and growth more. Both complimenting each other perfectly and squeezing my heart fiercely.

Yona's uncompromising nature and courageous soul raged brightly and gave me that little ray of sunshine even in the hardest of times.

While seeing Yona kick butt and take names was incredibly satisfactory the definite highlight was the moments shared with Hak, as it's always the case when those two share any time on screen together.

One of the best things about this series is that while it does take its time to build up a credible, strong, and absolutely romantic relationship between Hak and Yona it has never really dwadled for the sake of drama; and when things need to happen they happen and set my soul ablaze with the love and trust that shines so fiercely between them.

It was so achingly romantic and devastating all at once and I died a little bit inside with how much life it gave me.

“No. I will not be the goddess for a king who treats my friends as hostages. Even if I die.”


Resolutions needed to happen and they were so well develop and so in-brand with each and everyone of the characters that it was nothing short of perfect.

The thematics elements rage supreme even now, in the subtlests of ways, and carry on to form a strong foundation for the characters to continue moving forward. It might not have been directly spoken of, or drawn too much attention to them, but it is undubitable that they permeated the actions of our protagonists.

Ying Kuelbo ended up being a much more enjoyable character than I had expected originally and, surprisingly, I hate him a lot less than other characters closer to home. If nothing else, his motivations were sympathetic and reasonable and the hidden honor in them elevated him in my steem.

“If I don’t fight back, I’ll end up dead, or my friends will become someone’s tools. I must live, and return home.”
