Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 4

Today's manga post is on Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 4 by Gyeoeul Gwon and SUOL (Artist). It is 272 pages long and is published by Ize Press. The cover has Penelope and Callisto on it heading into a forest. As it is the fourth volume in the series, you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes mysteries and determined female leads. There is mild foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this volume. The story is told from third person close mostly following Penelope. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- "When I'm with you, there's truly never a dull moment."
The Hunt is on! Penelope heads off to the small-game area in hopes of finding a present for Eckles... only to run into a hostile bear! Armed with desperation and a crossbow, Penelope holds it off, until Callisto unexpectedly comes to her rescue. Despite his heroism, Penelope wants nothing but to get away from the seemingly obsessed, definitely dangerous crown prince. Fate has other plans, though- someone has sent assassins after Callisto, and Penelope is not caught in the cross fire, tasked by the game system to protect him. Still, this might just be a chance to raise his affection... if they can make it out with their lives, that is!

Review- So much happens in this volume, from Penelope learning about Callisto's life to learning more about the ancient wizards and the cult of the Laila. By the end of the volume she has much to consider and she still has to save her own life. But Penelope is not the one who learns in this volume, Callisto learns about her and it changes his opinion of her. He is beginning to see that Penelope is so much more than the rumors about her. The plot of this series is so strong and interesting plus add in how great the characters are, this series just has it all. If you are looking for romance, this story is not it.  There is a love story but this is a survival story with romance in the background. I cannot wait to get my hands on 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.
