Like volume four, I found this more interesting than I remember the series typically being. The dense continuity of this series does make it tough to follow the big story (I read volume one back in 2017, so that's four years ago), but this volume has an individual story that works on its own, about a city under siege. Like with volume four, I found the stuff about Kippa, the adorable fox kid, trying to navigate a cruel and dark world the most interesting; I continue to be bored any time we delve into the backstory of the main character. People must like this because it keeps making the Hugo ballot, but it does not really take me. I wonder how long it will go on for. But volume of this quality provide a nice day's diversion if nothing else, and there is a good joke about nuns.
