Welp, I guess every volume ends in a cliffhanger. 

As Shiva's aunt accepts and settles into her new life, there are a few ups and downs, but there is great character development. But things don't stay all too happy for long...

None of the church or the people on the inside have been present in this volume, and I'm more than grateful for it. I really can't stand them and I wouldn't mind if the next volume didn't include them either. Although at some point they will be an important part of the plot (well, they already are, but I mean they'll get more "screen-time").

The art continues to be beautiful and I can't wait to start with volume 5. (Should be coming tomorrow!)
