Lord of the Mysteries Volume 3

5/5




  "Every journey has its destination"


this volume ended not in an emotional way as i've expected, unlike the first two volumes, but the ending in this volume is no doubt more intense and nerve-racking than those two in so many levels. i already expected to see an intense battle before this volume ended, but i was not ready for that kind of intense. and that battle is definitely the most chaotic battle in this series yet. it's full of chaos and it's so much fun!

klein already triggered three evil gods in a span of three volumes! in the first volume, it was the 'true creator' and his blessed organization 'aurora order'. in the second volume, it was the 'primordial demoness' and her blessed organization 'demoness sect'. and now, it was the 'mother tree of desire'/'chained god' and their blessed organization 'rose school of thought'. and all of them posed a serious threat to klein, the kind of threat that even readers could feel in their bones. 

in this volume, klein moretti once again changed his identity, from being the detective sherlock moriarty who mostly stayed in the city of backlund, to being an adventurer gehrman sparrow who roamed the sea. and his change of identity isn't just on the surface level of changing his name and appearance, but also his whole personality. from being a cautious and weak but smart and gentleman detective to being a crazy and reckless adventurer. gerhman sparrow is the most opposite of klein's real personality but because he's already a sequence 6 faceless, it's definitely a must to act according to his current identity. and him being the mad adventurer added more to the fun of this volume.

KLEIN MORETTI


GEHRMAN SPARROW


another member was added to klein's tarot club and she's actually the member with the highest sequence among them and definitely more powerful than most of them, but klein continues to show his 'might' in front of them, making even the newest member bow down to him. as expected of the charlatan lol

i think i loved this a little bit more that the first two volumes, and that says a lot! there are another batch of allies and enemies introduced. there's no doubt klein chose various likeable allies outside of his tarot club, despite them having different personalities. characters like edwina edwards, blazing danitz, anderson hood, frank lee and queen mystic bernadette (i'm not sure yet if she's really an ally but it's a high possibility)

klein, aside from being a part-time 'unknown and mighty existence' mr. fool, he also acquired another godly identity as a sea god kalvetua. klein's growth was even more evident here. from 'three vs one fights' where klein is on the majority side to 'one vs three fights' where he was the one who fights alone and the three has the same level of strength as him, it's an apparent improvement, a huge but also a hard-earned leap of his strength. but despite his improvement, it's also clear that he's still far away from the level of his real enemies, which was the evil gods mentioned and their organizations

also, the plot is getting deeper and more intense. there are questions from the previous volumes that were answered here, but there are also an additional mysteries added to the pile. this series really has a huge world and i still have a lot more to discover but i'm not complaining. i even wish for more!!!

klein left the city of backlund at the end of volume 2, but he came back after months of travel at the end of volume 3. this is also the first time after volume 1 that klein would be in the same place as his siblings benson and melissa. i wonder how the author would handle that scene because i'm pretty sure klein would meet them again, though not in his klein identity. i think it would be emotional.

halfway through this volume was a complete unknown territory for me as i've already caught up with the part where i left off the first time i read this. now, the element of surprise if back. i no longer know what will happen next and that added more to my excitement! reading this is so much fun! i was literally at the edge of my seat with every fight, especially the battle at the end! i'm very much looking forward to the next volume!!!
