The Girl From the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún Vol. 11

Everything eventually crumbles to dust, even a cozy stone cottage. The creaky floorboards and sooty chimney are now only a sweet memory. Time marches inexorably forward. Only the world will remain, spinning ever on. As everything slips into the past, what remains of Shiva and Teacher's last moments? This was a story of two people--one human, one inhuman--who lingered in the hazy twilight that divides night from day. Now it reaches its end.

1.5/5⭠Disappointing, confusing, and unfinished. Ten volumes of building up lore and relationships only for it to ignore it all in the end and leave off with an ambiguous and unsatisfying “conclusion.“

Hmmm. Welp, since it turns out volume 12 is side stories, the main story arc is complete with this volume. I fear the author pushed too hard for plot/tension in the last few volumes and the pay off didn't live up to the build up. A quiet, sad but sweet, intimate story between two beings is how it started and ended, and it feels like the greater lore/looming threat was a distraction from that central tenant. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 The author did do a good job of reminding the reader of all the lovely moments throughout the series, so that while I might have wished for a happier conclusion, I can appreciate the framing of those moments as bright spots in a life which inevitably has darkness. Certainly the Other Side's world is dramatically darker than average, it retains the starkness of a fairy tale, black and white literally, but in that light shines all the brighter. 2y
