While Othello and his Blue Dragon Army face down the bounty hunter Mitsume and the Devil Oscar's forces, Oscar himself finds Ororon and his brood. Oscar has been trying to assassinate Ororon this entire time, fearing his younger brother's power and possible desire to ascend to the throne of hell. This time there is no escape and Oscar, insane with hatred and thirsty for pain, proceeds to murder Ororon very slowly, torturing the poor lovesick Chisaki who can only stand by and watch. Chisaki's friends attempt to attack Oscar to allow Chiaki time to escape, but to no avail. They fall at the hand of the powerful devil. But just as Oscar turns his fury to Chiaki herself, Ororon musters all his remaining power to summon a beast to kill Oscar before falling over dead himself before Othello could even arrive with his own army.
The entirety of this volume was technically worth only three stars, but the ending and the politics earned it another star. I LOVE how this series ended and I loved the motivation behind the entire plot. This series is no longer a favourite of mine, but it's still better than a lot of other ones out there.
This series started out with so much promise, but she tried to do too much. The ending was good, but there were too many loose ends. I wish I was left with more closure. Now I just feel sad and frustrated...
Hmmm. The series started out seeming cute. Dark and broody, but cute. Then it ended up violent and bloody and super confusing. And tragic. Grr Too many cliffhangers, not enough real action. Too much battle - especially the fact that the last two novels were one long battle.
Not a review, just a comment. Enjoyed the series but by the final volume I was annoyed that I mixing characters up because they all looked the same in my eyes...
Yeah, I fundamentally don't get this series. I don't understand the character arcs, and there's too many characters for me to be able to keep track of. The end of the story lines aren't resolved in a very satisfying way, and I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind open endings. The "romance" doesn't make sense to me, and I don't quite get why the series is even tagged as romance here on goodreads. Then again I couldn't tell you what else to tag it as.
Romeo-and-Juliet takes on Heaven and Hell. A beautiful love story with unique art. It's horribly violent in some parts, but I'm totally in love with it. I just wish the series was longer.
