"In order to understand my feelings on this volume, let's taake a quick look at the rest:
1-5, all 4s or 5s, directly proportional to Jibril screentime and inveresly to amount of plot twists.
6, deserves a 6/5. Firmly wish it will go down as a staple amongst light novels.
7, needs some definite polishing, as it didn't seem to be read as a stand-alone novel. Unlike 4, it was mainly a jumbled mess of ponderings that culiminated in a cliff-hanger, without any charm or reason to reread with volume 8.
Now that's out the way, what about said volume 8? And why did I need to do a brief survey? Excellent questions!
As to the first, I think it's an excellent return to form, hearkening volume 3 for amount of mindgames and the emotional quandaries our cast find themselves struggling against. For Tet's sake, " " is fighting against an Old Deus, and it finally sets in for everyone that sacrifices are going to have be made- whether pyscially or mentally, that's the crux of this novel. Without giving too much away, Blank are able to finally make the kind of steps that Riku and Schwi were not, and literal Loli Goddess Holou gets an Azril moment that was extremely heartwarming to read.
But what about that random survey, mister reviewer? Well, aside from pointing out that Kamiya is making dedicated attempts to utilize past conventions and spin them anew (also an interesting notion the novel dabbles in), let's talk about Jibril. For me, Jibril is pretty much perfection, and this volume is able to explore not only her character, but also the ramifications that the Great War had on all the people of Disboard, in a way that not even volume 6 could. I'm not saying this volume beats out 6 in any other capacity, but Kamiya's world-building really reaches a peak here, able to tear down the veil of violence covering this series, and give our resident Flugel a desperately needed outlook on life. Yes, life is finally breathed into our cast of war-torn characters, and all the plot twists in the novel basically boil down to one simple thing: preventing people from being screwed over, rather than screwing people over like in volumes 4 and 5.
In all honesty, I whole-heartedly recommend anyone coming this far to not only immediately pick it up, but to also convince others to start this series, or pick it back up if they put it down. With the vast mental shift being exhibited by NGNL's characters, and the fanstastic scenes for some past-dwelling cast, plus more Jibril, I can only move into the future excited more than ever for another volume.
EDIT: Upon reviewing my review, I though I would mention two potential turnoffs that I failed to bring up.
Firstly, and though it seems strange to bring it up in volume 8, the emphasis on lolis can be a problem for some readers. Yeah, I'm a degenerate that's not bothered by it, but Shiro really gets the attraction points laid onto her in a scene that was way more uncomfortable than funny or cute. Unlike the other little anime girls in NGNL, it really seems that Kamiya is deadset on making sure you remember that Shiro really wants to bone her brother.
Second, I personally think there is very little re-readibility here. Since 7 and 8 are practically a bundled pair, to get the most out of revisiting this book, you'd have to read volume 7, which is the most boring and jumbled of the lot, and miss out on the little twists that really make this volume in particular so great. Which is not to say there is nothing to gained here from rereading, but all I'm really left with after a few days of thinking back is a slight disappointment that I'll have to wait for the next volume in NGNL to really enjoy this series, which by now, we all know is gonna take a while."
