i unironically enjoy this series but this books is just painful to get through. after edward leaves it is HUNDREDS of pages of just pathetic narration (i think bella uses that word to describe herself literally) IM FOREVER MAD ABOUT THE HORRIFIC READING OF ROMEO AND JULIET THAT IS POLLUTING THIS WHOLE DAMN BOOK. i also… hate mike newton. but. i. LOVE. ALICE. she’s just my favorite and i annotate hearts around her bits constantly.

this rating might increase just because of the lucy and juvia chapter-
sorry the fact that the unison raid is MAD difficult and these ladies just pulled it out no planning no practice and they were enemies like two volumes ago?? EPICCC
and more of sweet young erza! her early days at the guild are so interesting to me

erza backstory will ALWAYS be a winner.
her rise to leadership during the revolt of the enslaved people at the tower of heaven, being inspired by grandpa rob FROM FAIRY TAIL?? and i just scream at her speech after his death
mashima’s kinks are acknowledged right at the top of this volume which is…. a treat..
