Reviews

[Mizuki · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. The action, fight scene and characters continue to be cool, and the second book of Kara no Kyoukai adds a touch of detective mystery into its action paced story. The mystery part of the story is nicely handled. Murders in a weird apartment building which was designed to drive its residents crazy and kill each other? GOOD! and I also enjoy how the nature and goals of Magicians is being reveled to us (the ideas are so refreshing!). Just as equally enjoyable is the battle among powerful Magicians and the slight romance between the heroine and the boy who murdered(?) his parents.

Po przeczytaniu tego tomu odczuwam mieszankę emocji. Szczęście, smutek, strach. Dla tych co się jeszcze wachają serdecznie polecam. Roller coaster emocjonalny gwarantowany

"Bo ja jako ja postanowiłem, że pobiegnę. Tak... Nieważne jak bardzo będzie to bolesne. Jak bardzo mozolne. Niczym krążące po tarczy wskazówki zegara. Niczym zmieniające się w kółko pory roku. Nie mogę stać wiecznie w tym samym miejscu. Uczucie tkwi we mnie, wyraźne i silne. Może to tylko mój sen. Może to sen mojego ciała... Ciała fałszywego, ale przepełnionego siłą woli..."

I found some flaws in the first, the same with this, but worse (this time couldn't help it but notice the "copy" to a certain Key arts vn scene)

I think this could have been written in half pages and so it would be better. Well it is still worth it if you are interested in this kind of genre

has “paradox spiral” in it

[Micael Apenas · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the Magus Aozaki Touko, she asked her final questions for Araya.
“Araya, what do you seek?”
“True wisdom.”
The black Magus’s arm crumbled away.
“Araya, where do you seek it?”
“Only within myself.”
The cloak scattered , and half of his body danced away in the wind.
Aozaki Touko watched it all the way through.
“Araya, where are you trying to reach?”
Araya crumbled apart. Only his mouth was left, the words disappeared without a voice.

–That’s obvious. The end of this paradox spiral–

Un mundo de paradojas:
-Aplaudo la idea del edificio, capítulo largo pero intenso.
-Describen a la maga de forma más oscura comparada con la animación, me gusta.
-Shiki sigue siendo mi personaje ideal, aunque no se sabe si es el antihéroe en cuestión...

Estas novelas ligeras te mantienen intrigado hasta el final debido al uso adecuado de los cliffhangers!!!

Spiral... My God.

螺旋般的每一日。
巴的線寫得真好。寫脆弱與矛盾的段落……無意義但留下痕跡的。是合適的開始與終結。
比起動作戲更喜歡幻想（虛）中的實，情緒的氣味很合理/懇切。與發展相應的設定則是繁複得「嗯」感受過去，不過讀對稱跟比喻還是挺快樂的
篇章結尾真是（總是）平和得令人滿足

very dense & hard to get into but ultimately worth it for the ideas that it.brings & the story that it tells.
