It is good to see that not all villians are meant to be defeated some are changed. We get to see a different side of liquidizer and how she has more of a emotional connection with trancer that transcends being coworkers per say. Once again i love reading about the characters mind set on the current predicament with wanting their old colleague back as well. I just gotta say i hope she is worth it. The author stated at the end of the novel in his notes that vol 6 will be the rematch with stinger. I cant wait to see what happens. But i think this was a good wrap on Liquidizer and trancers tag team. If this stays the end.

Toujours une chouette lecture, même si je dois avouer que je trouve ce tome là un peu plus faible que le reste.

Pour un volume dont le titre est "Liquidizer", j'aurais aimé en apprendre plus sur son personnage dont on a même pas le point de vue malheureusement.

C'est clairement un tome de transition dans l'arc Stinger plus large, donc j'ai assez hâte de pouvoir lire le T6 quand même. Dommage qu'il ne soit toujours pas sorti... stp Kawahara lâche un peu Accel World et revient sur tes meilleurs titres.

perfection, as always - there's always a long stretch between Isolator volumes, but these novels are so worth waiting for. I'd love to see an anime of this series, as well done as SAO and Accel World.

Really liked it, enjoying the characters, however it feels too short and Kawahara has too many series on the go preventing greater focus on this series (time to wrap up SAO?)
