Aah, the big finish! This series ended much quicker than I thought it would and felt like it was a tiny bit rushed in the last few chapters. But it still ended in a decent way, so I can overlook the rushing. I honestly wish this series had gone on longer, but keeping it as a trilogy still works very nicely. It's very satisfying to see all the plans that had their groundwork set up in volume two, come to fruition in volume three! It is a little disappointing that they didn't do more with Lilia. It feels like they hinted that she would turn out to be evil, but then never really did anything with her. Also, I thought they implied that Lilia can mind control people but...I guess she can't? Or was that something to do with her being Holy Maiden? The whole Holy Maiden thing felt like a weirdly done MacGuffin, but I can't tell if it really was a MacGuffin or if I was just missing something. The bonus chapters were cute, I liked the romantic one.

Also, CW/ TW for attempted SA near the end of the volume. That scene was so out of the blue, it honestly startled me when I realized what was happening. Nothing NSFW is shown, the most explicit thing is you see her bra. I understand WHY they put that scene in there, and that it was strictly for plot reasons. But like...it got really dark for a moment there.… (mehr)
