Prince Freya, Vol. 3

Today's manga post is on Prince Freya, Vol. 3 by Keiko Ishihara. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Julius with his sword drawn and Prince Edvard reflected in his sword. As it is the third volume in the series, you need to have read the first two volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes epic historical stories with a strong female lead. There is no foul language, no sex, and violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Freya. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Freya is determined to help the soldiers trapped in the besieged Fort Leren, but with reinforcements days away, the only thing she has to offer them is her presence and everything it represents. But how can she embody the Prince of Hope when she is consumed by anger?

Review- This volume picks right where the last volume left off. With Freya still trying to learn how to lead and how to handle her emotions about all the death around her. Julius is trying to help her as best he can but Freya has to find her own way. When they are betrayed from within the fort, Freya has to pull herself together and lead. The plot is the main focus in this manga and it is a very driving force, so much so that the characters are secondary to it. Not what I normally like but it is a nice change of pace for me, so I am willing to see where this story goes. Very intense plot and the battle scenes are very intense too. This manga is not for everyone but I would recommend trying it. 

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