This volume focuses mainly on Amir's friend Pariya, who must re-sew her dowry cloth after her house is burned down. This arc presents a challenge for her, as she needs to focus on sewing and gets help from Amir' family on how to stay focused. They help her figure out ways to work that are best for her, and she has this great support group. However, poor girl, she's also battling anxiety about potentially scaring off her intended husband.

This volume also seemingly finishes Anis and Sherine's story from the previous volume, showing them happy and blissful in their lives as avowed sisters and wives to Anis's husband.

This volume shows us Amir's brother, Azel, as the new leader of his clan, and the struggles they will face come winter.

We also get to see a chapter in which Amir and Karluk go out for a day picnic with their horses, and when they come back, he asks her to teach him to shoot a bow. It also shows that they are so much more comfortable with each other now. In their private room, they're not shy anymore about touching or holding each other, and there's a panel in particular that had me go "awww."

¡Extrañaba esta historia! Que lástima que la autora tenga un ritmo de publicación tan lento...

Lo negro de la noche se ve más oscuro justo antes del amanecer. Pero la pregunta sigue siendo, ¿puede el sol brillar de nuevo?

Este tomo se centra en la historia de Pariya una joven de la aldea que sufrió la destrucción de su hogar durante el ataque del clan Hagal. Mientras intentan recuperar lo perdido, Pariya se esfuerza por preparar su boda con el joven Umal. De esta manera puede verse las costumbres sobre la preparación de la dote, cómo se concierta un matrimonio y la relación de los novios antes de este.
Hay un par de capítulos centrados en Karluk y Amira, además ella tiene cierto protagonismo en la historia de Pariya, quién la ve como una esposa perfecta e intenta imitarla. Lamentablemente, mi pareja favorita termina mal este tomo, dejándome con intriga y el corazón dolido.

También hay un capítulo centrado en Azel y sus primos, asumiendo el liderazgo del clan Hagal. Y, en pequeñas viñetas (4-koma) nos cuentan qué están haciendo cada uno de los protagonistas de las historias anteriores (salvo Henry).


De más esta decir que el dibujo sigue siendo impecable y está historia repunto con respecto a la anterior. Me agrada mucho la autora y voy a buscar sus otros mangas mientras espero ansiosa el próximo tomo.

This is my favorite volume of the story so far (at least what is out in English).

We follow Pariya, one of the girls that Amir has made friends with as her and her family struggle after the attack from the nomadic clan that destroyed her home and most of her dowry. She struggles with self-doubt and anxiety as she is (for this time) getting farther from the 'desirable age to marry, and with her needlework being destroyed, that only pushes things out farther between her and her potential partner.

Pariya's storyline is probably my favorite after the ongoing storyline of Mr. Smith and Talas.
