Juvia's crush on Gray is weird, kinda worried that will go somewhere... Love the whole guild coming together to protect their own, though.

Luvia and Gajeel and even a quick little peek of Mistogan! 
I love all the little ways Lucy is able to help Natsu, especially with Sagittarius and fire, but I’m definitely looking forward to Lucy’s solo battles in the future. 

Reading Mashima’s afterword was hilarious. He was truly planning on stopping Fairy Tail to TEN volumes?! That’s just the start to his most beloved series! (I love Rave Master so much but really Fairy Tail is in a league of its own)

This volume was just what I needed to hang on. For the past couple of volumes I felt that the story was pretty "meh," but was trudging through it because I have been recommended the series multiple times. This book made all that trudging worth it. This volume highlighted some new antagonists and brought great elements to the existing characters. I appreciated the deeper storyline that revolved around the guild and the sense of friendship these guys have.

Overall I look forward to sticking with this series!
