Once they healed Naofumi and sort out these accusations. The Queen finally punishes Malty and the King for their crimes and almost create a war with other countries with their actions which make feel sympathetic for the Queen sort deal with the countries.The highlight of this that Naofumi had his named cleared and justice is truly given to him which make you emotional for this time to come. Looking forward more of the series to continue see what lies ahead.

We’re back with another Shield Hero volume. With this one, we’re getting closer and closer to catching up the anime adaption. Soon enough, we’ll be in uncharted territory! But, that’s neither here nor there. Let’s get into this volume shall we?With Volume 4, we pick up with Naofumi and his party getting chased down under the suspicion of kidnapping the crown princess, Melty. Framed once again, and fearing for not only his life but that of his new (probably temporary) party member, the Shield does his best to find a way to get Melty away from the clutches of her older sister and assassins and back to her mother. Only problem is, they don’t know what country the Queen is in, just the general direction. So, not only do they have to contend with a foolish Hero and dangerous assassins chasing them down, they have to find a way to figure out the Queen’s location.I swear, Naofumi just can’t catch a break! Well, I say that but even though he’s been fighting an uphill battle up to this point, that’s looking like it’ll change with this volume. Sure he goes through yet another betrayal, but the good thing about the betrayal in this volume is it brings with it more lore of this world. We get to learn more about the Waves, and their importance to the world, not just the country the heroes were summoned. Which comes as a surprise to many, the fact that Melromarc isn’t the most important country in this story. I’m interested to learn more about the other countries, especially those that favor the Shield Hero, as Melromarc is extremely prejudiced toward him.With that said, this volume shed a brighter light on the discrimination that not only Naofumi faces, but also the demihumans that reside in the country. We’re treated to more of Raphtalia’s life before she met Naofumi…though I guess treated isn’t the right word. We previously learned she was bought and sold as a slave to wealthy men, and the most egregious perpetrator rears his ugly head in this volume, and we see a darker side of Raphtalia than we’ve seen before. The development she and the rest of Naofumi’s party experiences here is so good! They grow not only in character development, but their strength grows as well.We meet an important character in this volume and the meeting results in the growth of our lovely little Filo. We also learn a little bit of the history of this world, as well as the state of the current world from this new character, so meeting her definitely shed some light on the way things were unfolding. By the end of this novel, we get to see some comeuppance on multiple fronts, and the differences from the anime are changes I wish they wouldn’t have made in regards to some of the characters. But, I still had a great time with this one. Looking forward to getting the volume!

Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love this anime

This has been a great series to read. Though it may be a little towards the youth side of the genre, it stills has a complex undertone. The fact that the author wants you to see the consequences of actions from the world's viewpoint on a hero's heroics. This means when a hero finishes the job, what becomes of the people afterwards and how do they feel about the hero's. Just by having this dialogue raises a complex political viewpoint for the reader to ponder and give so much more depth the characters. You have been along for the ride with the protagonist, but with all that happens in the world it gives you a better feel on how and what the protagonist is going through.This book is the conclusion of the what i would say is the first long arch of the story. Most of the issues that have been driving the story up to now are going to come to a conclusion. I have to say that this is a giant disappointment that i now have to wait for the next books to be released. If i were to give any advise here it would be not to read the manga ahead of the light novel. It will give away too much of the story and is almost disappointing how it varies from the light novel as well. It seems to leave out too much detail and the story seems to lost from being rushed. It is great though to look at after you have read the novel to use as a visual to what you have imagined.My only cons that i have about this series is something small but frustrating. The dialogue sometimes involve too many people at once, and the author does not try to identify who is speaking. This is irritating at times because i have to read it a couple times to figure out who just said that. Otherwise i think this is a great series, i believe with a story this good, i wouldn't be surprised to see this as a anime one day.

My boy loves these books and is collecting them

Really enjoying this series.

Basándonos en la serie, éste Volumen va desde el capítulo 14 al 21.Desde la persecución de la que son objeto por protejer la vida de Mel, pasando por el pueblo en el Raphtalia sufrió tanto de niña. Una batalla imposible que lleva al encuentro con "otra" Reina de la que aprenden tanto.Hasta que al fin quién ha estado moviendo los hilos desde las sombras sale a la luz. Y llega el momento de la justicia para Naofumi. Ésto es en lo único en lo que la serie es más dramático que los libros, pero aun así en los libros la justicia llega, y con un tono más maduro.En el Epílogo, cuenta la separación de Mel y Filo; ahora mejores amigas, y los pensamientos de Naofumi a futuro para Filo, después de haber conocido a aquella otra Reina.Y también cuenta la historia algo graciosa de cómo dicha Reina encontró a Filo en primer lugar.

The Rising of the Shield HeroOrmai ho letto fino al volume 13, sto aspettando che esca il prossimonel frattempo scrivo questa breve recensione. E' senza spoiler per cui è un po' vaga non preoccupatevi leggetela pure.Che dire.. The Rising of the Shield Hero è veramente bella, la consiglio caldamente a tutti quelli che apprezzano racconti d'avventura in mondi alternativi.M'è piaciuto particolarmente tanto il fatto che il protagonista non viene caricato di poteri sovraumani invece è sì forte in certi aspetti ma con parecchi punti deboli che richiedono strategie per compensare...La storia e i personaggi (sia secondari che gli antagonisti) sono molto ben curati, con un proprio passato e una personalità che è coerente con ciò che dicono e fanno specialmente nelle interazioni col protagonista della storia.Non mancano i soliti di cliché qui e là ma rimangono relativamente pochi e ben distribuiti al momento giusto senza mai scadere nell'eccessiva banalità.La trama generale -- almeno fin dove ho letto io -- è rimasta sempre molto interessante, assolutamente da leggere se vi piace il genere!Il livello di inglese non è difficile, se eravate quanto meno bravini in inglese alle scuole superiori dovreste cavarvela nel leggerlo con l'aiuto di un dizionario+google.Potete leggerlo su eBookReaderKindle oppure su FireTablet oppure ancora su tabletAndroid o Apple con l'app Kindle; infine anche su pc-windows o pc-mac con l'applicazione Kindle o se proprio non vi va di scaricare roba sul computer potete leggere sul sitoweb leggi.amazon.it (con testo grigio e sfondo nero non è faticoso leggere al pc)Straconsigliata, ottima light novel.

I guess this one could be called "Gathering of Insanely Stupid Characters".I mean, it is clear from the other 3 books so far that many of the characters in this series aren't exactly the brightest bunch, but here it gets turned up to eleven. We have heroes that believe even the most retarded lies, we have cliche evildoers who rather die than maybe think for two seconds, we have royality who act against the wishes of a higher authority and who actively doom their own world for no reason that would make any sense and of course we also have some "evil person who pulls the triggers behind it" who does exactly the same.It then gets concluded with about 1/3 of the book beeing basically just "revenge porn" instead of plot developement. If your story arc is ended with several dozen pages of people talking about how to punish the evil people instead of talking about how to save the world then there is something kinda wrong.Tho, it isn't a bad book. If you liked the previous 3 then you will most likely like that one, too. Just don't be surprised if your hand wanders to your face more than once.
