Goodreads Synopsis:
With Nonoha spirited
away by demons, Sorath infiltrates their territory only to find himself
bearing witness to a horrific public execution dubbed the "Divine
Judgment." Surrounded by countless sacrifices, reeling from Leice's
betrayal, and faced with his beloved Nonoha having been taken hostage,
Sorath's memory is rekindled, and the night when he lost his dearest
friend comes rushing back to him. Will Sorath clash once more with the
fearsome being who preys on human lives, the Lord of Terror?!
Review:
Demons are
infecting modern day Japan, and the biggest one is after Sorath. And all he
wants is to take care of his adopted daughter Nonoha.
He does what he can
to take care of the Lord of Terror, being summoned by the sacrifices this
stupid kid has made, being led by a devil in disguise. And then Leice tries
turning on him. It’s dark, of course, and there’s death, as is understandable.
But it turns out surprisingly well, so far at least. After that, we get a
chapter to review what happened to Sorath and Nonoha when they first arrived in
modern day Japan.
I’m most interested
in Nonoha. She’s a sweet little girl, with a pure heart. She’s shown some magic
in her as well, and I’m interested to see what all she can do. I like that
Sorath is trying to take care of her well, keep her as normal as he can. That’s
sweet. And even if Leice definitely has bad intentions, I like her relationship
with them when it’s going good.
The humor between
them all, when they’re having a normal day, is good. It’s humor in moments of
peace, in moments that it works, as Kaori Yuki does it.
This series is
confusing and messy and violent, as Kaori Yuki stories always are. And I’m
really enjoying it. I’m actually preferring this one to Alice in Murderland so far, surprisingly enough.
