Kayleigh ，

The details in these short stories are so beautiful

Anniken Haga ，

It's been a while since I read the last Spice & Wolf book， but I still remember most of the details pretty well。 That's partly because it's a fairly easy story to remember， but also because things are repeated so many times each book。 Which， at this point， is becoming a little annoying， unfortunately。 Another thing I'm beginning to have a problem with is the writing style and formatting style in general。 It's dry and heavy handed， and the formatting makes it hard to know who's saying what。 Which It's been a while since I read the last Spice & Wolf book， but I still remember most of the details pretty well。 That's partly because it's a fairly easy story to remember， but also because things are repeated so many times each book。 Which， at this point， is becoming a little annoying， unfortunately。 Another thing I'm beginning to have a problem with is the writing style and formatting style in general。 It's dry and heavy handed， and the formatting makes it hard to know who's saying what。 Which is unfortunate。 Doesn't mean I'll stop reading the series， though。 Whenever the next book is out in English， I'll probably pick it up， because I like the characters。 That said， I was considering reading Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf， Vol。 3， but I don't think I will。 I'm not as invested in Myuri and Col as I am in Holo and Lawrence， so pushing my way through a full book with this writing just because of them as characters isn't enough。 Might consider picking up the manga， though。。。 BEYOND THE STEAM AND WOLFA cute little tale of Holo and Lawrence's preparations for their upcoming travels。 It's a great way to show their love for each other without bluntly saying it。That said， it was told from Selim's POV， and I have to admit she didn't really do anything for me as an MC。3/5THE AUTUMN-COLORED SMILE AND WOLFA cute story following right on the heels of the first one。 Lawrence and Holo have started their travels， but it's been well over 10 years since they settled down， and not all skills are as reliable as riding a bike， it seems。Really liked how it showed their personalities and dynamic， but there wasn't much of a story-ARC3/5THE COLORS OF THE FOREST AND THE WOLFThis story was very reminicent of the original series， as it was all about making a profit。 At the same time， it hit very close to home for me， and I'm so happy with the conclusion！I liked how， despite being set in "midevil times"， this story was very relevant to some of our current issues。Also， the characters were very well written and expressed4/5THE EGGS OF A JOURNEY AND WOLFI like that this story tells us a little of the effects that Col and Myuri's actions have on this world， and how it affects everyone， not just the main characters or their peers， but every part of society。Also really enjoyed seeing Holo's growth， as well as the painting-ARC3/5ANOTHER BIRTHDAY AND WOLFA short told mostly from Col's POV as he try to get Myuri ready for her debut as a grown lady - at age 10。 The only thing I liked was the first part with the coin， but the rest of it seemed rather pointless。 And I just can't with the "love" here。2/5 。。。more

Heartwarming and melancholic。 A lovely spring log， with more bits of backstory， character development and overall smiles。

Roxanne Nelson ，

I find myself enjoying the short stories format even more than the full lenght novels for these characters。 They are just so cute together。

Eldon Siemens ，

The never-ending saga of Lawrence and Holo！ I like the change in pace of these Spring Log volumes， having changed in some ways more similar to a slice of life， a "fairy tale" as Selim puts it。 It's enjoyable just to be with these two！ The never-ending saga of Lawrence and Holo！ I like the change in pace of these Spring Log volumes， having changed in some ways more similar to a slice of life， a "fairy tale" as Selim puts it。 It's enjoyable just to be with these two！ 。。。more
