    Now that we're over half-way through the book, we discuss how much better we've got to now Shiori. We assess the suspicious actions of the highly unlikeable Zirina. There's a murder mystery afoot, and Shiori or her blossoming romantic interest, Takkan, could be the next target. And, as usual, we lay out our theories for where this fairy tale fantasy story is heading.
