Claymore, Vol. 3 (Volume 3): Teresa of the Faint Smile Paperback – 2 Jun. 2008

Was finding it hard to find a cheap copy of this volume. Awesome series though, so glad I didn't have to spend a ludicrous amount for it :D

Eine wirklich wunderschöne Buch Reihe

Claymore Vol. 3 delves into the background of the titular member of the organization of monster-hunters called "Claymores". We see the background of how Clare met a Claymore, and, I'm guessing it will lead to how she became one eventually. It sounds like one of the extended story arcs I've heard about is coming up.What made me really like this volume was that with the ending of the previous arc, and the beginning of the next arc, with said flashback to Clare's past, it humanizes her. The mysterious and aloof warrior finally shows her heart and it makes her endearing. While I can see that Raki (her ordinary boy companion) is still obviously the main PoV character and audience surrogate, Clare is now much more interesting than she was before. Now, she no longer needs to be filtered through the lens of Raki's viewpoint.I can't think of much I didn't like about this story, except that I wish they had begun it in an official flashback method. Instead, we suddenly have a different era we quickly figure out is about a decade or two previously. It just felt disjointed as we left the current story, and suddenly we are at a different time period. That is about it for any criticisms that I have.This was a solid addition to the series.

They liked it very much
