Review:
I was
so looking forward to this. I was so happy when my library got it.
I am also
glad I waited until the library got it, instead of spending $12.
Why? Frankly, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The overall
story and plot line is very good. However, for the large story
given it is far too short. I think if had been 2 mabe three volumes
it might have been better I hear the video game version flushes
out thestory much better, sadly said game is has not and most likely will
not be released here in the states. I hear the ending was rushed
to end the whole thing, which really shows with the very good build up
we get.
At the
end we I felt the, "then what" felling. The ending is so abrupt you
don't really know what happesn after that, no clues, no nothing.
Make no mstake it is a good read, (although a bit unsatisfying) |
