We get a little bit of Loid's past in this one, which is just as traumatic as you probably think it would be. Because of that, the first part of this volume is a bit more somber in tone than the rest of the series. But never fear! That changes in the second half of of the book when we get back to Anya and Yor and all of their shenanigans. 

Can't wait to see how the battle of friendship plays out!
