Definitely not my favorite of the series. We introduce a lot of new characters, we go through some flashback as well and in the end the main story didn't evolve much. It was good don't get me wrong, just not as good as this series had me expect! But I'm still fully in and can't wait for the next one (one a bit lower at vol. 9, all containing two normal size volume, so that make 18, it's just normal to have a bit of a slower one!).
