Spice and Wolf, Vol. 13

Side Colors III

By: Isuna Hasekura, Paul Starr - translator

Narrated by: J. Michael Tatum, Brina Palencia

This collection of short stories from the world of Spice & Wolf features three new vignettes from Lawrence and Holo's journeys, as well as a novella that follows Norah the shepherdess and her faithful sheepdog, Enek, as they put the city of Ruvinheigen behind them and try to forge a new path for themselves...

love it, but want a bit more Brina time :p

The side stories this go round are a nice mix. The Enek POV chapters detailing Nora's life after the events of the sheep/gold smuggling arc were a surprise. I thought it'd be Nora's POV.

speaking of, the Holo POV was quite surprising. It seems to take place *quite* early in her and Lawrence's travels. Her first PoV was in a prior side colors volume, and was more about he mental state while actively in love. This however was a rare peek into Holo's more critical initial judgments of Kraft, despite there already being signs of attachment. Bla! anyways, it was the best chapter in that every sentence seems to be educational :p Holo is great and I Love this series so far. Just gushing here because I waited 1.5 years and binged all that materiel in a few weeks (I'm trying to fill the recent hole torn into my soul upon catching up to the recent volume)

Holo

A good insight into the inner workings of the mind of the wise wolf and how she works what she loves

Nice side stories

Was a great side step to the main story and to expand characters backgrounds. Good to have these types of pauses in main storyline
