The best thing about library books — aside from the fact that they’re free — is that I don’t have to pace myself reading through series. I checked out volumes two through seven of Freiren, and I fully intend to keep speeding through them as my interest allows.
This volume concludes Frieren’s confrontation with the demon Aura the Guillotine, which starts out interesting but wraps up with a power-level cliché straight out of Dragon Ball. The rest of the book is a scattershot series of vignettes and side quests that don’t even try to live up to the stylish menace of the demons. Some backstory and character moments are sprinkled in, and we get a new addition to the party in Sein the priest, but overall I felt it was an unremarkable outing.
