FANTASTIC! The world of Trinity Blood is phenomenal. Set in a post apocalyptic society, the Vatican is a world superpower. I don't know how to describe how incredible this series is; you HAVE to read it for yourself! I love the characters, the story, the idea of such a world. I wish I could be an AX agent.
Literally the very first sentence of the very first book, you are THROWN into the action! Its VERY easy to get absorbed into these books. You will not be able to put them down and sleep in peace. YOU HAVE TO READ THESE BOOKS!

This particular book in the series might just be my favorite. I fell in love with Vaclav Havel, but I cant tell you why or I'd ruin the story for you

I really like the story and this is my favorite volume so far (because the rest have yet to be translated...if they will ever be...). The translations are a bit lacking; perhaps the book in the original language was better written? I would still recommend the book because it is a great story and it has an expansive universe.

I like the author's ideas here, but the execution in both story and writing structure are lacking. Even if part of it is ust the translation, it still needs work. Not the greatest quality stuff. The only reason it's not getting 2* is because I really enjoy the story's potential.

I really like this series, however this particular book has some glaring editing and typo issues. Perhaps the hurried too much in translating it?
