The Rising of the Shield Hero Volume 13

It's sad that they are not going in killing everyone in the country as a consequences on attacking his territory and declaring war over Naofumi wanting to see Raphtalia in a miku outfit

We begin our latest story arc with the shield hero Naofumi and his close companion Raphtalia planning to invade to isolated island nation hell bent on killing Raphtalia. The exact logic as to why is still coming but before they can invade they need to deal with the leaders of the only country with access to Q'ten Lo and so begins the long awaited journey the Siltvelt the kingdom of beastmen. Half of this volume is dedicated to their journey to this country that worships the Shield, and all the madness because of that. The later half sets the stage for the future battle with the Heavenly Emperor (which I'm not sure but might be just a bratty kid) and gets us ready for the next volume. The most noticeable feature this time around was that I saw no spelling or grammar errors in the Kindle edition. The editors finally got it prefect this time! The best part of this volume was the journey to Siltvelt, the summary is a little misleading as the real excitement is yet to come. Looking forward to the next volume!

I’ve gotta say, this was a pretty good installment. We get to see a new country, and meet some new people. I’m sure the addition of these new folks will only make things more entertaining. I’m hoping we actually get to learn more about Raphtalia’s lineage in the coming Volumes. There’s always something fascinating about royalty and all that entails. And, if everything goes well, Naofumi and his party will have another ally moving forward. That’ll be two other countries he could call on including the country that worshipped him. I’m curious how things will shake out.

This series was really good for the first 4 books, then took a massive nosedive in quality starting with book 5. My first excuse for sticking with the series up until book 6 because I heard that that's when the plot really starts diverging from the web novels. Then I kept reading because I was in the middle of the Spirit Tortoise story arc. Then I stuck around because I felt like I had invested too much time in the series to just drop it. But the story just wasn't really all that good.With all that said, if you're up to book 13 like me, you're also invested in the series, and I'm happy to say that this book is a return to form. It took 8 books, but the story is back to book 1-4 levels of quality. This was something I didn't expect, since it seemed like this book and book 14 where going to bascially be another pointless side story jammed into the main narrative for no good reason like books 8-9 (jury's still out on that actually. We'll see.). I hope Aneko Yusagi keeps up the good work. It is worth noting that the first 2/3 of this book is about stuff in Siltvelt, while only the last 1/3 is about Q'Ten Lo, so the cover/summary is very misleading.The translation work from One Peace is also much better in this book. There's an ad for the anime at the back of the book, and I think the people at One Peace must have thought they needed to actually do a good job for a change, now that their books might get more attention. I'd say that's too little, too late, but I'm happy I'm no longer buying bad work just because it's the only version of the book that exists.

This volume showed the shield hero and his main companion what it is like to be worshipped. The plots continue to move at a good pace. The different companions get different moments to shine and prove that the shield hero has a capable group to handle what is thrown at them. The headaches and challenges in this volume do a good job showing how the shield hero has grown as a character and what makes him successful.

The series continues to exceed my expectations hope it doesn't drag out for too long...

I have now gotten 1-13 of this series and I can say that it’s a great and captivating world. The book itself was in good condition just be sure you’re buying the light novel instead of the manga, you can tell by looking in the description on the amount of pages there are, 300-400 is the light novel 100-200 is the manga. If you plan on collecting the full series like I did I suggest you buy it from here because the prices are better :)

A bit of help from the filolial queen with a warning and a request. 2 unexpected allies join the shield hero but one of them gives him a warning.

Bin selber auf den Titel gestoßen über dessen Anime.Nach Ende der Staffel habe ich beschlossen das Buch zu lesen.Dies bereue ich nicht.Hat mich auf jeden Fall gefreut noch mehr über Rising zu erfahren.

Después del incidente al final del Volumen anterior, Naofumi emprende el viaje a la Nación al Oriente.Sin haber otra posibilidad más que viajar a Siltvelt para poder navegar a esa nación, deciden entrar a ese reino de demi-humanos que adoran al Héroe del Escudo como un dios.Después de descubrir una trama de hipocresía y lucha de poder al fin logran asegurar su paso a Q'ten Lo.Después de varios eventos y personajes nuevos logran establecer una cabeza de playa en el Reino que constantemente atenta contra la vida de Raphtalia.

As always. Story is still progressing in a natural non forced way. Good fun read.

The Rising of the Shield HeroOrmai ho letto fino al volume 13, sto aspettando che esca il prossimonel frattempo scrivo questa breve recensione. E' senza spoiler per cui è un po' vaga non preoccupatevi leggetela pure.Che dire.. The Rising of the Shield Hero è veramente bella, la consiglio caldamente a tutti quelli che apprezzano racconti d'avventura in mondi alternativi.M'è piaciuto particolarmente tanto il fatto che il protagonista non viene caricato di poteri sovraumani invece è sì forte in certi aspetti ma con parecchi punti deboli che richiedono strategie per compensare...La storia e i personaggi (sia secondari che gli antagonisti) sono molto ben curati, con un proprio passato e una personalità che è coerente con ciò che dicono e fanno specialmente nelle interazioni col protagonista della storia.Non mancano i soliti di cliché qui e là ma rimangono relativamente pochi e ben distribuiti al momento giusto senza mai scadere nell'eccessiva banalità.La trama generale -- almeno fin dove ho letto io -- è rimasta sempre molto interessante, assolutamente da leggere se vi piace il genere!Il livello di inglese non è difficile, se eravate quanto meno bravini in inglese alle scuole superiori dovreste cavarvela nel leggerlo con l'aiuto di un dizionario+google.Potete leggerlo su eBookReaderKindle oppure su FireTablet oppure ancora su tabletAndroid o Apple con l'app Kindle; infine anche su pc-windows o pc-mac con l'applicazione Kindle o se proprio non vi va di scaricare roba sul computer potete leggere sul sitoweb leggi.amazon.it (con testo grigio e sfondo nero non è faticoso leggere al pc)Straconsigliata, ottima light novel.
