Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 23

Today's manga post is on Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 23 by Mizuho Kusanagi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the princess of Xing and her bodyguard's on it. As it is the twenty-third volume in series, you need to have read the first twenty-two to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and some action violence in this series. The intended reader is someone who is interested in political shojo stories with strong action themes and a slow burn love story. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Yona gets caught in the middle of the nation of Xing's civil unrest after she discovers that Princess Kouren wants war against the kingdom of Kohka! As Princess Kouren stokes the fire of the pro-war faction, Yona must find a way to save the Dragon Warriors and her home country!

Review- This volume is very tense with the dragons being hurt and taken captive. Yona and Hak must try to get to Su-Won. The first princess of Xing is sure that Kohka is going to attack Xing and she wants to protect her country. So everyone is under the gun and in danger. This volume really brings into focus what happened before King Ill was king and the wars that his father waged for land and power. Now Yona has to save the dragons and hopefully stop a war from happening. Another great volume in a great series, I cannot wait to read the next volume. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
