A LIFETIME TOGETHER

Now that Mo Xi has uncovered the truth after eight long years, he and Gu Mang finally have a chance to clear away the lies of the past. Both know the moments they share are destined to be fleeting. Despite his efforts to remain lucid, Gu Mang's memories from the Time Mirror continue to slip away, and dark magic eats at his mind.

Yet peace at home is short-lived as new threats gather at the frontier. When the Liao Kingdom attacks once again, Gu Mang will join his former master, Murong Lian, as well as Mo Xi to confront their nation's darkest enemy. Their to neutralize an ancient danger inextricably tied to Chonghua's most secret history.


It took me a chapter or two to get back into the story with Remnants of Filth Vol. 5. I struggled to recall how the previous volume had ended at first until a few events mentioned nudged my memory. Once I was back on track, though, I enjoyed this new volume. There was further development in the relationship between Mo Xi and Gu Mang, and I also liked the new turn in the main narrative which introduced new villains and new trials for the heroes. I believe there are only two volumes left to come now in 2025, so I look forward to seeing how the story concludes then. As always with these books, the edition was nicely presented with illustrations scattered amidst the text. I am giving this volume 4.5 stars.
