I really liked this story! Quite a number of weeks later and I still remember it quite well, so that's always a good sign. I also struggled to keep track of character's names, but this was only a small hindrance for me.
The warrior hosting the healing spirit was cool, they really can be two sides of the same coin. I also loved how she was able to immediately tell that her old comrade was hosting a spirit, because she knew his voice and mannerisms so well. I definitely enjoyed this one more than the first one in this world.
