4/5 Stars (%82/100)
It was good but not as good as the previous one in my opinion. It felt rushed and I felt like something was missing (that "oomph" in the previous volume). In this book, we learn more about Gabimaru's past and Iwagakure in general. That was very interesting and the new characters also look appealing. However, as I said the whole volume felt too rushed. I understand we are getting close to the end but the series did not have this problem before. I also hate pretty much 90% of the new characters (not because of how they are written but because they are evil, especially that Shugen guy). We'll see what happens next.
