I started this book with pretty high expectations. Maybe that's what made it such a dissapointment.

The first 100 pages don't really go anywhere, and our introduction to the main character, Eon (Eona), isn't very flattering. I honestly didn't care much (or any) for her. She came off as weak and kind of useless, at least to me. Maybe I've just been spoiled by all of the kick-butt heroines I've read about before, but Eon just didn't do it for me.

The plot itself moves along pretty well, but since apparently this book can't satisfy me in anything, I found the action to be lacking. It's not that it didn't exist, but the action that went on throughout this book just didn't, well, excite me.

By the end of the book ( and I mean the VERY end. Only a few pages from The End) Eon finally shows some signs of remarkable power. Of course, as soon as it's getting good, the book ends.

I'm still not sure as to whether or not I'll read the sequel, but if I do it might not be for a while.

This series is super cute, but I think I'm starting to get a bit bored. Not much has happened to be honest, and while I appreciate the unique aspect of Yuki being deaf, the rest of the story feels rather run of the mill.

I've had fun, but I think it's time to part ways to avoid any unnecessary mid or negative reviews on future volumes.

Even better than the first volume! We saw a lot of development of Yona's character through this book, which I loved. We also took some time to explore the events happening back at the palace during Su-won's coronation, following his thoughts and feelings at the news of Yona and Hak's supposed deaths. They aren't dead, of course, but introduced to two new characters that I look forward to getting to know better going forward!

I thought this was a fun book, with great characters. Jak was my favorite but I really liked Tamisin

This story keeps getting better and better!

I love how Kusanagi develops her characters. She's always thoughtful about showing the reason behind a character's growth instead of just thrusting it upon them.

I'm nervous about how this volume ended, but hope that we'll see a satisfying resolution in the next!

I don't like that we've missed the time in between Will's remaining training as an apprentice, and his becoming a full-fledged Ranger. I was glad to see Alyss again, so that made this book much better.

Another beautiful volume and another interesting new character! Gija, the White Dragon descendant, was introduced in this volume. We don't know much about his character yet, but his dynamic with both Yona and Hak promises to be entertaining. Yona continues to grow with each passing installment, gaining skills and allies that will make her the best she can be to protect those she loves. I'm looking forward to seeing her progress in her archery skill—and swordsmanship if she ever picks it up!

Omg, Hak and Yona are going to be the death of me.

This volume resolved the events of the last enough to reassure me, but there were times that I genuinely feared for the safety of some of the characters—which is good because it means the story was written well! Hak and Yona continue to become closer to each other as people, instead of just lady and protector, and I hope we see a boost in scenes like that going forward!

SO FREAKING CUTE!! UWU

I love everything about this story—the art, the concept, the characters, the development—everything! This one is my favorite of all three volumes I've read so far, and I'm so impatient for the fourth to get translated and become available. Itsoumi can be a very hard-to-read person at times, but I genuinely believe that he likes Yuki, and I look forward to seeing them learn more about each other and progress their relationship!

Dawn of the Arcana had a pretty strong first volume! I find it pretty hard to feel satisfied with any manga's first volume, considering how short they are and the level of information they try to convey in that first installment. Arcana did a good job here, however, with its characters, pacing, and enjoyable artwork.

I'm not entirely sure where this story will go in the future, but I'm curious to see what plans the author holds for the following volumes!
