Blood+, Volume 3 - Boy Meets Girl

Blood+ light novel #3

by Ryo Ikehata

The monsters are winning. Saya Otonashi thought she could battle against the chiropterans, defeat the undead monsters, and avenge the life of her adoptive father. But the creatures, led by Saya's twin sister Diva, have struck a fatal blow: their attack on Saya's adopted brother Riku has left him infected with the vampiric curse and destined to transform into a chevalier, a half-human abomination with an unquenchable bloodlust. Saya finds herself drawn to the papers of nineteenth-century explorer Joel Goldshmidt, and his long-forgotten journal. As Saya reads Joel's diary she learns more about her past of murder and horror, the perverse origins of the Red Shield organization, and the grotesque destiny she and Diva share.

[WinterBat · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of typos and stilted translations. Action scenes are a little hard to follow. Angsty portion of the series.

Again, see Vol. 1 for a more complete review of what to expect from the series. This book covers the events in Paris and London. This was my favorite book in the series so far - we get some background on James, which I appreciate - not much, admittedly, but still more than we got from the show. The storyline with the Schiff gets better from the last volume, and it covers part of my favorite arcs with Red Shield and David. I think some of the action scenes drag, and it still has all the stiff writing style of the earlier volumes, but I still devoured it.

I found this book to be the most boring. Really deals with the aftermath of Riku's death. Lots of over drawn outed anguish.
