Nice wrap up of the first book series. We finally see progress on Araragi and Senjogahara's relationship, as well as finally learn more and deal with Hanekawa's aberration. While the dialogue and banter are one point as always, this book as a whole felt calmer to me. Not as high strung, but it's not a bad thing. I think sometimes a series needs to chill a bit when things always feel like they are at 100. I recommend this series to anyone looking for a fun and hilarious read, even if you don't particularly enjoy light novels. It never felt like a typical one to me, and was a tough three books to put down. I look forward to jumping in to the next books in the overall series soon.
