The episodic nature of the earlier chapters is finally shed in this new volume. Chise is still recovering from a dragon's curse and the early promise of a cure is proven to be fruitless unless Chise is willing to let the dragon who cursed her die. The previous mode of introducing a new character to complicate and solve her magical dilemmas is upended here. And Chise's original passive nature is slowly transforming and being tempered into a new character who is becoming the active protagonist of the series. And, of course, that leads her into conflict with her protectors and leaves readers on a cliffhanger that's sure to keep readers on tenterhooks.
