katikat | Wen Spencer and Mirage of Blaze (Reply)

I finished reading Wen Spencer's "Tainted Trail" and picked up the 3rd book in the Ukiah Oregon series, "Bitter Waters". Although I know that I keep repeating myself I must say that these books are so totally awesome and cool. The characters are distinct and well drawn and you can see how Ukiah is changing during the books. At the beginning of the first book, he was an innocent boy. At the beginning of the third one, he sees everything in a different light, he isn't helplessly innocent anymore. He starts to think independently, he becomes a man. Excellent.

And I checked out the

mirageofblaze community and read the spoilers to learn how the manga ended (it has 40 vols). And let me tell you that I won't buy this manga should someone license it. Folks who know what I like and what I don't like probably know why. Never ever. I'm happy that the anime ended where it did and left me blissfully innocent of what was to come.
