The first two volumes already told a complete story, so this one could've easily felt superfluous。 But instead, by delving deeper into the world, the third volume is an ambitious new start。 The author clearly didn't expect the story to be such a success, and part of the appeal is seeing her confidence grow over time。 She embraces the fantastical head-on, goes in detail about the politics of the setting, introduces new characters with their own points of view, and lends depth to previously one no The first two volumes already told a complete story, so this one could've easily felt superfluous。 But instead, by delving deeper into the world, the third volume is an ambitious new start。 The author clearly didn't expect the story to be such a success, and part of the appeal is seeing her confidence grow over time。 She embraces the fantastical head-on, goes in detail about the politics of the setting, introduces new characters with their own points of view, and lends depth to previously one note supporting cast members。 Using a spin-off Rae isn't as familiar with with its own protagonist is an inspired touch, still keeping some of the meta manipulation elements while also enhancing stakes, surprises, and a more independent world revolving beyond just the two protagonists。 Those protagonists are more endearing than ever as well。 All told, it's an exciting beginning for the new arc, and I can't wait for more。 Plus: only marginal incest! 。。。more

By the third installment, my interest in Claire and Rae has been diminished。 As I was reading, I struggled to continue reading because I didn’t care about the new problems that were created at the start of volume 3。 Yes, I enjoy the dynamic between Claire, Rae, and the twins, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯。 Never force yourself to read a book that you are not enjoying。。。。 With so many books in the world, it isn’t worth it。

Claire and Rae managed to survive a revolution, get jobs as teachers, and adopt two orphans。 That’s enough for most, but since they aren’t even 20 yet, no time to rest on their laurels! Dispatched into the heart of hostile territory, there’s lots of intrigue afoot and this time Rae doesn’t have the benefit of foresight to help。Let me be frank, this book does not need to exist。 It simply doesn’t。 This could have all ended with the second book and it had everything all just right and perfect and i Claire and Rae managed to survive a revolution, get jobs as teachers, and adopt two orphans。 That’s enough for most, but since they aren’t even 20 yet, no time to rest on their laurels! Dispatched into the heart of hostile territory, there’s lots of intrigue afoot and this time Rae doesn’t have the benefit of foresight to help。Let me be frank, this book does not need to exist。 It simply doesn’t。 This could have all ended with the second book and it had everything all just right and perfect and it would have been great。 It’s the author deciding they had more to say, but that doesn’t mean they necessarily should。So, the fact that this book comes precariously close to wholly justifying itself was quite the shock, especially because the actual story proper is not quite moving with the ‘oomph’ that the original one did, but more on that in a bit。With the whole revolution thing taken care of, we get a little bit of domestic bliss for our stars, but then they are thrust back into the thick of things as they’re forced to visit a hostile foreign power as part of an exchange program。We also get new characters, some truly unsettling new mysteries (I’d keep reading this even beyond liking the series just to find out where the hell it’s actually going now), and, as befits the next act for these two, a diabolical new foe or three (and what is up with those names? So many questions!)。The story we get is pretty okay; it’s cute seeing Claire and Rae on the same page and as a full on couple for a change and like I said, there are some real wonky implications throughout。 It just doesn’t land with quite the impact that the first two books did。 It is very smart of them to have Rae running out of game and being forced to deal with life as it happens, at least, I will give them that。Still, it’s hard to fault this series too much when it’s being so damn earnest about everything。 The series’ tenet of ‘love who you love’ has never wavered, even if it has gone to some real extremes, and you can’t fault a book that embraces the concept of ‘yuri paradise’ even as it’s taking jabs at modern Japan with aplomb。 It’s really the secret sauce that sets this series apart。What truly makes this particular book, really, are the bonus chapters, of which there are seven, most of which are filled with all the domestic romance and flirting and, yes, that, that the main story might not have time for。 It’s positively overflowing with mush and mush that I was definitely in the mood for。 In particular, there’s one very pointed wedding that couldn’t be more heavy-handed in laying the smack down on people against same-sex marriage, but it gets away with it because it’s too damn sweet of a moment。The very last story is told from Claire’s perspective and it’s also a great time, though I thought for a minute they were really going to go for it and then seemed to pull back。 The resulting story’s fine, but it was nearly a classic。Main story, 4 stars, buoyed by those lingering mysteries。 Bonus chapters, easy 5。 I think I have a real blind spot for this series, but I don’t really mind。 It’s not perfect, but it is always here to be queer and not be ashamed about it and that’s never a bad message。 。。。more

Rae and Claire have settled down after the revolution, working as magic teachers at the Academy of the Bauer Kingdom - purposely keeping their distance from politics。 Politics does not leave them alone though as the neighbouring Nur Empire proposes an exchange of hostages to ensure peace。 The Bauer Kingdom is not in a position to refuse, and Rae and Claire are amongst those traveling to the Empire。 It reminds Rea about a spin-off game, but she soon realizes that her meddling in the Bauer Kingdom Rae and Claire have settled down after the revolution, working as magic teachers at the Academy of the Bauer Kingdom - purposely keeping their distance from politics。 Politics does not leave them alone though as the neighbouring Nur Empire proposes an exchange of hostages to ensure peace。 The Bauer Kingdom is not in a position to refuse, and Rae and Claire are amongst those traveling to the Empire。 It reminds Rea about a spin-off game, but she soon realizes that her meddling in the Bauer Kingdom caused a lot of things to change (and that as always games don't do real life events and people much justice)。 The later 25% are short stories set in between volume 2 and 3, mostly wholesome sweet things。The book is a bit short, and clearly the first part of a longer story (although without a cliff-hanger)。 It follows the same line of humour as the earlier volumes with a bit of plotting/intrigue as well。 Not as much character development, but we do get to see more about the world and what might be going on behind the scenes。 The main story had me hooked, smiling and laughing, the side stories were less interesting, feeling a lot like filler without adding much。 Still, I greatly enjoyed reading the story and looking forward to any next part。 A solid addition to the series。 。。。more
