I've definitely been sucked in by these novelisations because I love how we are getting more information about the characters than in the manga. The one question I really want answered though is why Abel has sided with the Terrans and not the Methuselah, these hints around the edges are driving me crazy!

I'm beginning to think the anime, for as flawed and full of holes as it was - might be better. I'm not sure if it's the translation that is boring me or the awkward writing in general that's causing me to trudge through this book.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a good manga for the story instead of the illustrations, these series is for you. Sunao has an amazing ability of making the story come alive out of the page, his descriptions trump any illustrations of a battle scene and more importantly he treats the reader with enough respect so as to make his stories be science fiction as opposed to fantasy. It was an absolute delight to read, even if you haven’t seen the anime or read the manga, or were not even aware this was ever anything more than a great science fiction series.

Wow! Noelle is almost a non-character in the novels. Crazy! I think I liked this volume better, because none of the bad guys were focused on raping anyone, which was the only thing that put me off the first one.

This definitely is not a series that I would recommend lightly. Or to anyone with a gentle soul. I guess it's a good thing they are out of print and hard to find.

O.o soooo pretty. This is one of my favorite mangas. I love vampire stories but this plot line really blows me away and it is based on a novel series which I sooo have to read when they come to the US.

Loved the details I found in this version, much better then the manga or anime, even if you don't get to see Thors beautiful artwork as much, would recommend that you read this series and the "Reborn On Mars" series too before reading or watching the Trinity Blood manga.

Very interesting to read the original tales, and they really are just as amusing as the manga. Love this series.
