This volume was so different from the rest of the series so far. I really loved getting to know more about SuWon's parents. His father is rarely mentioned and this was the first time his mother was talked about. There seems to be a deeper complexity to both his parents than previously thought.
I really hope more is learned about them, and perhaps even more about Yona's mother since all we know about her so far was that she died. Though I don't recall if it's ever mentioned how.

I also really liked that flashback of Hak and Jaeha meeting years ago. I think it makes their friendship now a little more special. I do wonder if there is anything to learn about Hak's parents, since all there is to know about him is that he was adopted by the Wind tribe's general.
