Daemons of the Shadow Realm 03 by Hiromu Arakawa

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As the blurb says Yuru and Asa finally have their heart-to-heart. So there is plenty of character development and history finally revealed. I'm still not sure I like Asa all that much but she does want to protect her brother. Yuru for his part is brash and he's totally unprepared for modern life, having been sequestered in that more or less medieval village on the mountain.

Naturally they get attacked at the compound so there are plenty of fight scenes and we get a big reveal which isn't on the book cover but IS spoiled in the GR blurb so there's that... Everyone wants the twins' powers and most don't seem to care who gets hurt in order to make that power grab. Even the twins' supporters have motives of their own.

As always Arakawa's art is great (even if she does reuse faces all the time) but the story struggles a bit. Still, I'm holding on for now.
