Goodreads Synopsis:
While Earl Ciel
Phantomhive and his indomitable butler, Sebastian, are away on the trail
of Blavat and the Blue Star Cult, the sound of gunshots echoes through
the halls of their London townhouse. What chaos awaits master and
servant upon their return home? And why is the young earl shaken to his
core by the message left behind by the invader?
Review:
I'm conflicted about this.
So, we conclude the cliffhanger from last time, and it's honestly
awful. I didn't really want to believe that's how it would end, and
it is really sad. I feel so bad for Soma.
During the aftermath of this, it's clear that something is bothering
Ciel. Something is haunting him, and he's asking odd questions... All
of this leading to a truly surprising reveal, to discovering that our
Ciel is actually not Ciel at all.
I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it's so overused to
throw in a secret twin. And it's rather unbelievable. It makes me
distend my belief a bit too much. But on the other hand, it's pulled
off rather well, and the backstory we get regarding it is very
interesting. I'm interested to see how it all leads to Ciel being
where he is when we start the series. It also makes me wonder about
his deal with Sebastian—does him pretending to be someone else
complicate their contract?
I'm conflicted over this turn of events. But I'm also very interested
to see where that cliffhanger goes. What bad things happen next? What led to Ciel being where he was, and making a deal with devil?
