Summary
Arriving in the town of Lenos， Lawrence and Holo take a respite from their travels north - but a true businessman never rests！ It isn't long before an opportunity for profit presents itself to Lawrence， one that could fulfill his dreams of owning his own establishment。 But as always， the promise of great reward carries great risk - and risk is never greater than when one plans to use a wisewolf as collateral！ As Lawrence and Holo feel the ties binding them stretched thin， has the time come for the pair to go their separate ways？

I feel this is the weakest of the books so far， though I know I am in the minority。 I feel this is the weakest， not by virtue of an uninteresting story， poor writing， or weak characters， but more because it was a deceptively simple leg of the journey that just didn't connect with me like Lawrence and Holo's misadventures in the towns up until this point。 The central story took its time to go anywhere， and didn't end anywhere particularly interesting either。 That being the Spice side--merchants a I feel this is the weakest of the books so far， though I know I am in the minority。 I feel this is the weakest， not by virtue of an uninteresting story， poor writing， or weak characters， but more because it was a deceptively simple leg of the journey that just didn't connect with me like Lawrence and Holo's misadventures in the towns up until this point。 The central story took its time to go anywhere， and didn't end anywhere particularly interesting either。 That being the Spice side--merchants and economics--of Spice & Wolf。 The Wolf side--the relationship between our leads--is another matter entirely。 Eve was a fairly uninteresting character， the deal between them took too much build-up and lead-in， Lawrence's investigations just weren't as intriguing as in the past， and in the end， the conclusion felt rushed and unfinished。But really， this book isn't about the Spice。 Honestly， I feel that was intended to take a backseat to the interesting development in Lawrence and Holo's relationship。 In the past， I simply felt that the way their relationship was weaved into the economics side of the story was always tightly woven。 When it comes to the relationship itself， Hasekura really went all out in tackling some difficult emotions of longing， obligation， and the fear of happy memories souring from the passage of time and over-exposure。 It's all very nebulous and both characters are loath to say what they really feel out of an obligation to what may very well be the truth。 This is the true highlight of the novel， and Hasekura handles it well， but not as well as possible， and several character moments and reactions felt earned， but still a little confusing。 A few times， he said Holo was angry， which left me scratching my head， because I was sure her reaction to a particular statement would have left her with a different reaction。 Perhaps I'm doing a poor job of keeping up with their increasingly complex relationship， but I think it's more that these characters are just beginning to be honest with themselves and tackling these complex emotions for the first time， and Hasekura occasionally struggles to convey what is entirely new。 。。。more

I really absolutely adore this slow romance amid the trials and tribulations of a traveling merchant and his wolf-girl companion。 The whole worry of Holo living for centuries longer than him and whether or not to pursue it giving the story angst and drama besides all the worries about if they'll confess properly one day or not。"Wishing for you to be mine might not make it so。 But if I don't wish it， you'll never be mine。" I really absolutely adore this slow romance amid the trials and tribulations of a traveling merchant and his wolf-girl companion。 The whole worry of Holo living for centuries longer than him and whether or not to pursue it giving the story angst and drama besides all the worries about if they'll confess properly one day or not。"Wishing for you to be mine might not make it so。 But if I don't wish it， you'll never be mine。" 。。。more

This book was adapted into second half of Spice and Wolf anime Season 2 。 The story is the same one to the anime。 As usual， Isuna mixed fantasy， romantic and economy well together。 The relationship between Lorentz and Horo getting intense and describe way better and deeper than in the anime。 So， I highly recommend this book to all Spice and Wolf fans。

I didn't like this book as much as the third one， but I definitely enjoyed it！ The biggest flaw with this book has to be the slow beginning。 Many， many pages pass without much happening。 I've grown to expect this from most books since it keeps on happening。 As a writer， I know it can be hard to write beginnings; that doesn't necessarily make the slow start any more enjoyable， though。 What makes it work in this book is the banter between Holo and Lawrence which is， as usual， very good。 And then t I didn't like this book as much as the third one， but I definitely enjoyed it！ The biggest flaw with this book has to be the slow beginning。 Many， many pages pass without much happening。 I've grown to expect this from most books since it keeps on happening。 As a writer， I know it can be hard to write beginnings; that doesn't necessarily make the slow start any more enjoyable， though。 What makes it work in this book is the banter between Holo and Lawrence which is， as usual， very good。 And then there's the ending - we'll get to that。 Unfortunately， I feel that the series has grown a bit repetitive in structure - our characters make it to a new town where economic gain is to be made （but at a dangerous cost）。 One or two new characters get involved。 All the while， Holo and Lawrence try to navigate their relationship and grow closer by the end。 It's the same formula each book， shaken up only by the differences between towns， people， and the nature of the conflict between Holo and Lawrence。 Fortunately， this book concerns itself with that formula。 Holo begins the story rather bitter about the straits Lawrence has put them through， and the concern about when the journey should end follows the book all the way through the end。 It makes for an engaging read if you can get past the beginning which， as usual， is a lot of banter， a lot of setup， and a lot of eating。 The second half of this book is where things start to pick up， and there's a fair amount of tension that is built。 Lawrence and Holo are growing closer， and there is concern about whether or not that is a good thing， given the nature of their companionship。 It makes for some good drama。 And， of course， the end is great。 I think that this series does a good job of convincing me of its quality by the end of each book that I read。 It is worth noting that there is a plot point about selling people into slavery - a big flaw of these books， I think， is that there are many outdated references to things like slavery or women。 It's something that is usually easy to ignore if you let yourself， but it's definitely a frustration。 Overall， it was a good book！ 。。。more

I kept encountering moments of déjà vu while reading this volume。 As it turned out I had read this volume before but either I gave up halfway or got all the way to the ending， I obviously cannot recall and I never made any record of it here。 I must have been really unimpressed though and made the decision to stop reading the series altogether， a decision I unknowingly undid。Nothing in this volume interests me。 The logic of the business intrigue is hard to follow （admittedly， it may well be becau I kept encountering moments of déjà vu while reading this volume。 As it turned out I had read this volume before but either I gave up halfway or got all the way to the ending， I obviously cannot recall and I never made any record of it here。 I must have been really unimpressed though and made the decision to stop reading the series altogether， a decision I unknowingly undid。Nothing in this volume interests me。 The logic of the business intrigue is hard to follow （admittedly， it may well be because I'm not that bright）， the town is dull， and the characters even duller。 The bone of the story， the relationship between Lawrence and the wisewolf Holo， is shaky。 The banter between them drags on forever and it also takes both of them forever to admit that they don't actually want to part ways and still want to be together。 By the number of volumes， I am sure that this patterns will repeat itself。Also here is something that annoys me， Holo's lack of interaction with anyone other than Lawrence。 I guess that allows us to see how special Lawrence is to Holo that she only wants to talk to him and does not deign to speak to anyone else。 But how bloody insular。 Has she always been like this？ I can't recall。 Even when she is literally sharing the same table as Eve， she 'allows' Eve's to talk about her to Lawrence as though she is a thing or simply not there。 And the fact that everyone seems to take her lack communication without even rising an eyebrow is absolutely unnatural and proof of a poor writing， to me。The only thing I like about this volume is the vivid descriptions of food， so vivid that they were the déjà vu moments I had。 But food alone isn't enough to keep me going， so here we part ways。 。。。more

EhhhhhhhI wanted to enjoy this one， I really did。 And the closeness between Holo and Lawrence part definitely did！ There was some serious drama there， and it was actually really exciting to see the question between them get pretty firmly asked （at least in Lawrence's case）。HOWEVER， the actual thing happening in this town wasn't that interesting for me， and further， when the time comes for the merchant side of things to go down and ~make money~ I was not invested。 Not only that， but Lawrence （vie EhhhhhhhI wanted to enjoy this one， I really did。 And the closeness between Holo and Lawrence part definitely did！ There was some serious drama there， and it was actually really exciting to see the question between them get pretty firmly asked （at least in Lawrence's case）。HOWEVER， the actual thing happening in this town wasn't that interesting for me， and further， when the time comes for the merchant side of things to go down and ~make money~ I was not invested。 Not only that， but Lawrence （view spoiler）[ engages with a slave trading post to。。。。sell off Holo for the money they need to invest？？？？ W H A T （hide spoiler）] I realize that it's a "different time" or a "different universe" even， but it's still not okay with me。 It ends up working out for them but the way it's discussed， the way it's handled， as if it's totally okay and normal is gross。 I hated it。 Even fictionally， a story like that should be treated with way more care and not treated as a convenient way to raise funds。 I am willing to read the next book because I already own it （bought them both together） but I'm pretty bummed at what happened here。 If it can't pick up those shattered pieces I will be stopping after Vol。 6。 。。。more

I thought the book slow at first。 A bit too slow for my liking。 It has been a long while since I started my journey， surely a lot longer than than the some odd months that led Holo and Lawrence to the town of Lenos。I started and stopped a few times， always finishing the first chapter， never letting the beginning of the narrative grip me。 This time， with the encouragement of a dear friend， I never stopped。I am glad I didn't， this is surely the best volume so far。As I write this， my emotions are a I thought the book slow at first。 A bit too slow for my liking。 It has been a long while since I started my journey， surely a lot longer than than the some odd months that led Holo and Lawrence to the town of Lenos。I started and stopped a few times， always finishing the first chapter， never letting the beginning of the narrative grip me。 This time， with the encouragement of a dear friend， I never stopped。I am glad I didn't， this is surely the best volume so far。As I write this， my emotions are all spilling over。 Do yourself a favor， and if you read it all in one sitting。。。 do so slowly。 It is very filling indeed， and the taste is decadent like honeyed bread。 。。。more

This volume spent a fair bit of time setting things up for the climax with no significant hints of what was to come， and the result was very little action or economic drama until rather closer to the end than one might expect after reading the preceding four volumes。 Surprisingly， this did not in any way detract from the quality of the tale， because this freed the author to spend much more time than usual focusing on the biggest strength of the series: character development。The evolving relation This volume spent a fair bit of time setting things up for the climax with no significant hints of what was to come， and the result was very little action or economic drama until rather closer to the end than one might expect after reading the preceding four volumes。 Surprisingly， this did not in any way detract from the quality of the tale， because this freed the author to spend much more time than usual focusing on the biggest strength of the series: character development。The evolving relationship between Lawrence and Holo has been established as caring and， in some ways， quite solid， after the four previous volumes -- but fears about the future come into play in a manner more believable than they might seem if I simply explained them here （and I'd have to mark spoilers if I did that anyway）。 Other characters， particularly another merchant who becomes increasingly important as the story goes on， get their own developmental treatment， too， and a couple of them stand out from the page as vividly realized by the author's representation。After five books， one might be tempted to think that the ongoing series is losing some of its susceptibility to suspension of disbelief， which might lose some of a reader's interest， as a result of the improbable frequency of Big Problems rearing their ugly heads in volume after volume。 This is a significant danger in long， ongoing novel series， as the author must find some way to keep things interesting， to serve the demonstrated interests of all the people who have been buying new additions to the series over the years， and still keep things fresh。Luckily， the author of Spice & Wolf seems cognizant of these challenges， and helps the reader's suspension of disbelief in small ways。 The most obvious is where the characters themselves have begun to recognize， and remark upon， the unusual frequency of major economic crises in their lives。 Another -- and often more difficult to pull off if the author does not write character development very well， though Hasekura Isuna does possess the requisite talent -- is to slow the pace of action and devote more time to sounding out the depths of the characters， which plays very well in this volume。If I have any complaints at all in this volume， they are as follows:First， I think I may have detected some clumsy language in the narrative as a result of the translator's work， though it was not significant。 The most notable incident was a character's use of the term "like"， which people familiar with anime at least should recognize as the translation of a common Japanese term employed （especially in anime about teenagers） as a stand-in for romantic feelings， but in the context in which a character uses it in this book the better translation would have been "love"。 To many native English speakers I would expect the use of the term "like" to be either confusing or overly trivial， in context。Second， Lawrence makes a business decision （at Holo's prompting， at one point） regarding Holo's own circumstances that I found highly suspect -- that is， even if I imagined myself feeling a similar level of avarice to Lawrence's， I would never have even considered it。 Having considered it long enough to discuss it with Holo， though， the author's portrayal of her does an excellent job of making the decision much more believable because of the manner of her support for it。Neither of these substantially detracted from my enjoyment， and they have no notable effect on my ultimate decision of how to rate the book。 。。。more

As they near Holo's destination， Holo and Lawrence's relationship seems destined to end， and neither of them are looking forward to its conclusion。 When Lawrence is approached with a potential opportunity that promises to secure his future and fulfill his dreams， Holo is willing to help him。 But nothing is ever simple in the life of a merchant。 Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger。 As they near Holo's destination， Holo and Lawrence's relationship seems destined to end， and neither of them are looking forward to its conclusion。 When Lawrence is approached with a potential opportunity that promises to secure his future and fulfill his dreams， Holo is willing to help him。 But nothing is ever simple in the life of a merchant。 Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger。 。。。more
