The creation of Priscilla, the main antagonist of the series, is really an emotional point. Teresa is beaten through trickery, not fair fight.

The series go back to the present day, where Clare has to join three other Claymores to slay a „voracious eater” which is really an awakened being. It's the moment when the organization turns slightly creepy, but that's only for a few moments - their inside fight for hierarchy pales when they end up facing a more difficult monster to slay. And the group is at a disadvantage.

The series still keeps a good pace, and the reading of the volume flies by you. It's pure entertainment, with an occasional informational dump where the writers look like they try to rewrite some ideas from the past (they re-rank the mummy in the cathedral as not being a voracious eater so that the voracious eater could be an awakened being). But the rewrite is subtle, and it works quite well.
