Josh Lanyon's "The Darkling Thrush" (ebook), #142

( Synopsis... )

Review: Great premise and a great setting. Josh Lanyon sure knows how to evoke emotions - when Colin entered the underground room and suddenly became scared that someone would lock him in and he would suffocate, it really got my heart racing. And I liked all the backstory for Agro and Swanhild. But!

At the same time, the book felt... rushed. People in this world knew about magic. But what were the Arcane Services and how did they operate? How did Septimus stop the sea monster? Also, Septimus' declaration of love seemed to have come completely out of the blue. And the ending was so abrupt. They just let Irania go? Why did the faery woman help Colin? Did Colin have a magic of his own in the end or not?

So many loose ends, so many questions left unanswered. I was a bit disappointed.

Kazuya Minekura's "Wild Adapter #1+2" (manga), #143+144

Vol. 1: What a weird, weird manga. So violent and raw, there are no good guys in this, only Yakuza members, murderers and arms and drug dealers. The main hero is Makoto Kubota, who's in this all for himself - but at the same time, he's strangely selfless. I wonder what's up with his aversion to sex in general, het or gay. Quite intriguing. And did I mention how weird it is?

Vol. 2: This manga's getting better and better. The relationship between Kubota and Tokito fascinates me. It's not sexual but still crazily possessive and protective. And it's so funny to watch Tokito bristle when everybody calls him a "cat".

And again, the manga is quite violent, so definitely not for faint-hearted people.
