...And into the middle of the darkness. The book feels quite different from the two before him - and I don't know yet if I like it.

The two first stories were beautiful! Miyazawa writes in a very lyrical way (although probably, much is lost in translation), that lets you really feel the emotions of his characters.

Started reading.

The plot is becoming more and more complicated. Instead of giving the readers clues, Sanderson likes to confuse them more as the book continues. And I love it.

Probably it's because I'm just in the beggining, but I don't really get to like this manga. Toru's behavior is very childish and there is a lot of unneccesary drama.

So far, it's my favorite volume, and it makes me think even more that in this case, the manga is better than the anime. The first two chapters - about Takemoto's tower and Ayu's childhood friends - are just beautiful, and I am eager to read more.

I like it so far. The plot is a bit more relaxed than in the previous volumes (at least for now).

Currently in chapter 18.
Things start to get interesting. I've got a feeling that in two chapters, three at the most, there will be a turning point.
Until now, I really like the book. The characters, the world building, the story - all is greatly written, and I'm eager to read more.

Currently on chapter 14.

Finished the first story.
Well, that was interesting. Pseudo-history, Sci-fi and Christian and Scandinavian themes are a very unique combination. I couldn't stop reading, and the ending didn't disappoint.

Currently on chapter 11.

I have mixed feelings about the book. I'll post a review later.

Well, I finished the first part. I'm waiting for the second to be returned to the library.

Currently in chapter 3.
This is the most sarcastic book I've ever read, and I love it! Goldman's humor is great, and the story just gets better. The fictitious introduction was hilarious.

Currently on chapter 3.

Well, THAT'S interesting! The parashendians killed Gavilar in order to avoid the return of their gods. What is the connection between Gavilar, the Way of Kings and the parashendian gods? Why didn't they try to negotiate with Gavilar beforehand?

Sanderson's world building is as great as always. I really like the way he described the parashendians.
