This was a particularly amusing entry in the series - the scene in which it is revealed just who Roki and company are is particularly hilarious, as Noriko and Glocia keep blurting out the exact same thing at the same time, and then, with great comic timing, turning to one another in surprise; and the exchanges between Izark and Roki are likewise entertaining - and I enjoyed reading it a great deal. I appreciated the brief but chilling glimpse of Rachef's childhood, and the few scenes involving Gaya, Barago and Jeida were quite welcome, although (as always) I wanted to see a little more of their activities. I was very glad to see the map on page 136, as I'd had a difficult time envisioning the physical layout of the countries mentioned, and their geographic relationship to one another. I do continue to wonder, however, whether this world has any specific name. It was quite interesting to witness Rachef's musings about the Awakening, his contemptuous dismissal of Noriko as "just" an ordinary girl. I was reminded of Lord Voldemort's similar feelings about the "ordinary" Harry Potter and his "ordinary" Muggle mother, in J.K. Rowling's fantasy novels.
In sum: exciting, engrossing, and very satisfying, with plenty of action, some heartwarming scenes, and lots of humor. On to the eleventh volume! ( )
