misscoldtoes's review
Note: I did not read LavaPunch2, Goodreads doesn't seem to have the first book so I used the second to track my reading.
Rating for LavaPunch, the first as a whole is 2/5. I am so disappointed as it's been on my TBR for a really long time. Breaking it down per story:
1. Doko Detsuka, 3/5. It's pretty and interesting but not really much of a storyline to follow.
2. Brian Leath, is a negative possible? It was so bad I almost DNFed the rest. Grossly misogynistic and focuses heavily on gratuitous violence against women.
3. Phantom Sister, 3/5 and it had a lot of potential to be higher. Overly violent but I liked the vengeful sister character. I would have preferred to know the attached twin part ahead, it being a twist made it confusing and hard to follow.
4. Childa Epitaph, 2/5. It would have been nice to see were the story was going, though you get a sense of it with the ending. I understand it was a WIP, but as is it just looks like a man beating his wife and her covering it, no thank you.
5. A Pirate Story, 2/5. Very hard to follow, if I hadn't read the extra bit I never would have known it was meant to be sky pirates. There was no mystery, the Capitan said they were pirates and they were. It was like a One Piece fanfiction.
6. The Aviatrix, 4/5. Beautiful art and story, if a bit rushed, there is some cliche but given a longer format I feel they could be written out. I wish we were given the back story first not in the middle but by far it is the best of the selections and the only one I would seek out a full work of.
