I went ahead and finished up by binge of Reincarnated as a Sword getting through books 13, 14, and 15. It was actually my first time reading Book 15 and I had forgotten a lot of the things that had happened in 14 so re-reading that was good refresher.

Anyway, wow Book 15 was such a wild ride! There was definitely hints of stuff happening in book 14 to set up book 15 but when 15 hit it was SO FREAKING COOL! A huge chunk of the story was devoted to Teacher and Fran's relationship. Is he a sword first, or a guardian first? We had seen some hints of this before in the Fanatix arc but it really took center stage for the Magic Academy arc.

Minor Spoiler

Fanatix went insane because a human soul shouldn't be kept in a sword. Yet Teacher is a human soul in a sword! But that's exactly why the God's sealed away his memories; so he wouldn't miss being a human that much and therefore wouldn't lose his sanity.

Some timey wimey stuff also happens, and I'm always a big fan of stuff like that.

Major Spoiler

The timey wimey stuff allows us to see another timeline where things turned out different from the current timeline. Some characters were sent back in time and they changed the course of events. In the other timeline, Fran was a lot stronger! So much stronger that she won the tournament, unlocked godbeast form, and could even wield the Evil One's power inside Teacher. Teacher himself also became a Godsword! Except this alternate timeline Fran was miserable because Teacher ended up losing his humanity and Jet ended up dying.

It was super SUPER cool seeing this "what if" scenario, even if we only caught glimpses of it.

So yeah, seeing how things came together at the end, how all the pieces fit together in the end to create something new... just super cool. We got to see a LOT of different character's secrets too and meet some new faces along the way.

On a side note, book 15 confirmed that Season 2 of Reincarnated of a Sword would be coming. Since season 1 was books 1 and 2, I bet season 2 will be books 3 and 4, so still no tournament arc. Oh well.

Anyway, I finally got the first book of Bookworm and started reading it, so look forward to that next time.
