No tenía grandes expectativas, pero aún así el final me decepcionó. No solo encontré las resoluciones insatisfactorias, sino todo el libro en general. Rescato una que otra cosa, pero la verdad me gustó poco y nada. Lástima.

There are so many things, that are wrong with this story... I was struggling to not dnf this volume, bc I read previous 6... I think author has too many ideas, and want to put all of them into this vol... I liked first 3 volumes, maybe even 4 too... But after this story is a mess, characters are changing their personality like a snap. Idk maybe Mr Mikage was beliveing that will be soo twisty twist, but it ends like 'I am 14 and this is deep'. I am just happy I can forget about this forever <3

This series was described to me as "anime in book form". I didn't have much experience with Japanese literature aside for "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruhi Narukami, but given what I have read (read a translation by Baka-Tsuki), I can say that this series does fantastically for its medium (called light novels).

I can't exactly judge this book by realistic standards. I've watched a couple animes before so I'm aware of certain tropes that are often used in anime, and they don't exactly conform to our reality. So that's why I read this book like I was watching an anime. The result? An incredible thriller that surprised me in more ways than one.

I would strongly suggest picking this book up if you're looking for an easy read with thoughtfully written scenes.
