One of the weaker volumes.

It's cool to see our hero become stronger and summon even tougher creatures but the lack of having to try hard at all is getting annoying. Also, it hints he might go down a darker path but I have a feeling this series won't actually go with that plotline which sucks.

So yeah a lot of political talk and such about who's joining who inbetween some great fight scenes make this volume uneven at best.
