THIS series should honestly be subtitled "FOUND FAMILY DONE RIGHT" because it just nails the relationships between the characters every single time. The bond between Yona and her companions continues to be one of the strongest aspects of the story, making every moment feel meaningful and earned.

This volume puts the spotlight on Sinha, and wow—his story is intense. We finally get to see what it’s like for him when he uses the dragon’s eyes, and let’s just say there’s a very good reason Ao warned him to never use them. The tension in these moments is incredible, especially when we see why Sinha ultimately chooses to unleash his power—to protect Yona. It’s emotional, it’s powerful, and it makes me love his character even more.

Beyond Sinha’s development, all the characters get their moments to shine. Their interactions remain nuanced, fun, and full of heart, adding even more layers to their growing found family dynamic. On top of that, we get further exploration of the Fire Tribe lands, and through all the shenanigans (because yes, there are always shenanigans), we get a clearer picture of the political turmoil brewing within the Fire Tribe. I’m loving how the worldbuilding expands with each volume, and I can’t wait to see more of every tribe as the story unfolds.

This series remains perpetually stellar, and I am absolutely here for the journey!
