Reddit reviews Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf, Vol. 1 (light novel)

Well here we are, the final episode! In lieu of my usual approach, I'm gonna do some overall final wrap up stuff:

• If you would like to continue, please read the Light Novel! There are 17 Volumes, with 2 more volumes being stories that take place in the future. You may find the books at Amazon (this is a U.S. Amazon link), Bookwalker, or other stores that sell books. As I said in the first episode thread, I highly recommend reading it. I fell in love with the series through the anime and I still read all of the volumes!
  
• There is a sequel to the Light Novel as well that has recently started called Spice and Wolf New Theory: Wolf and Parchment. Only the first volume has been officially been released in English, but there are three released overall so far. You may find it [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Parchment-Theory-Spice-light/dp/0316473456) (again a U.S. Amazon link).
  
• If anybody is looking for a similar show, allow me to recommend [Maoyuu Maou Yuusha] (https://myanimelist.net/anime/14833/Maoyuu_Maou_Yuusha), which is not as good as Spice and Wolf, but nails the whole historical romance vibe pretty well. I like to think of it as a lite version of Spice and Wolf, but if you enjoyed Spice and Wolf, you should enjoy it.
  
• I would like to thank frequent thread contributors /u/notathrowaway75 for his first time perspectives, /u/Durinthal for his wonderful manga comparisons, and /u/Caspus for his veteran perspective and discussion generation. I've been keeping an eye on the comments of you three and you've all been a bright spot in these threads. Thanks for toughing it out (almost) every thread through the whole two seasons with me.
  
• Extra special thanks to /u/Holofan4life. I am a long time lurker on /r/SpiceandWolf and you are by far the champion of that subreddit, and I have loved your contributions here. Keep up the good work, people don't tell you enough how amazing what you do is.
  
• Extra extra special thanks to /u/mpp00 for running these threads for 26 episodes. You did a great job and I can speak for myself that I really enjoyed the opportunity to watch this show with a decent sized group of people, as I never got the chance to do so before. Your hard work is much appreciated.
  
  Alright, with the administrative stuff out of the way, allow me to talk about the series as a whole a little bit before we depart.
  
  Holo and Lawrence are by fair my favorite pairing (and two of my favorite characters individually as well) in all of anime, with no small part of that being how real their relationship feels. There is no rushing, no suddenly being in love with each other, it's just a slow and deliberate build in their feelings for each other. Watching them overcome trial after trial as they both contribute to each others happiness and open themselves up to another is a real joy to watch and read. I hope that some of you new watchers fell in love with these characters as I did.
  
  The supporting cast is also wonderful, each with their own motivations and quirks that make them memorable as well as making their involvement in the story believable.
  
  The setting and world is well fleshed out and has a lot going on behind the scenes, and I like how things move even without the main characters. Very few shows give the characters situations that spawned from events out of their direct control.
  
  Future events and characters are very much worth reading the novels, and those of you craving more of our main duo will most certainly want to see how they continue from here. I honestly recommend reading all of them, but season 2 leaves off on novel 5. Go back and read 4 (as it wasn't covered in the anime), and then continue with 6.
  
  TLDR; Thanks to everyone who watched, I do hope that any of you who stuck around for the rewatch enjoyed the show. Please support the Light Novels if you enjoyed the series. Hopefully I'll see some of you around here as well. I may not be as wise as Holo, but I'll try to remember you all!

Have you tried Amazon?

Spice and Wolf 19 - https://smile.amazon.com/Spice-Wolf-Vol-light-novel/dp/1975300122
Wolf & Parchment 1 - https://smile.amazon.com/Wolf-Parchment-Theory-Spice-light/dp/0316473456/

What did you think it was a cameo of? It's not Spice and Wolf.

Parchment Vol 1 is actually available for pre-order on Amazon.ca right now. I'm guessing that if you order all of it at once, including the pre-order, you'll still only get charged for shipping once by Amazon (this has happened to me before with pre-ordering books there in the same order as books I'm buying immediately, I don't get charged twice for shipping even though I'd be functionally getting two shipments). If you can afford the over $100 it'll set you back for all of it, I say it's a good idea.

Nope. It's literally the FRONT COVER OF THE BOOK. It's also a new series. I spoiled nothing.

That's like spoiling Jurassic Park because it has a dinosaur on it.
