It’s picking up again, but I can’t overlook the misogyny on this series but especially on this volume.

I was questioning some plot choices for a minute there, but this volume was back at it and I’m completely hooked again.

“IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
THAT NO ONE FINDS THE NEW L SUSPICIOUS, ESPECIALLY AFTER I MADE SUCH CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS, AND IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THEN THEY'RE WORSE THAN PRESCHOOLERS.”
Near is now my favorite character in Death Note and I forgot just how good he is as the foil to Light Yagami. I also forgot about Teru and his background, but honestly, I feel more for his character than I do for the sociopath that is Light. Teru wants to bring Justice into the world because of what he has experienced firsthand, Light does it because he’s bored. Honestly, the introduction of Teru, Mello, and Near are all very welcome into the series being my second time around, and they never felt out of place nor unwanted, something I felt when I first completed the series. I believe if Teru and Light interacted as much Light and L, Teru would write his name in the Death Note. I like the reintroduction of Takki from University as the new spokesperson for Kira, being the news anchor for NHN, and how Near immediately sends his team to Japan to track Kira down. Another great volume that kept me invested in what was to come next.

This series installment feels repetitive, with the same villainous cycle replaying with new characters. While the pacing picked up compared to the previous books, I struggle to connect with the characters, both heroes and villains. The lack of emotional investment lessens the overall impact.

Het grootste deel ervan vond ik nogal saai...
Boek 70 van mijn '2013 goodreads challenge'. Uitdaging wordt geüpdatet!
Boek 70 van mijn '2013 goodreads challenge'. Uitdaging wordt geüpdatet!
Only two more volumes of Death Note after volume 10! As much as I like this series, I'm ready for it to end.
The main problem is that I don't like any of the characters anymore. Light is far too arrogant. He's always been that way, but as the walls are closing in, he's becoming darker and even more manipulative. The only truly nice person in the series, Light's father is now dead. Light seemed more upset that his father didn't confess Mello's name before he died. Light treats Misa just as heartlessly as he does everyone else in his life (although Misa is so stupid that I don't feel too sorry for her).
Near and Mello are both formidable foes to Light. By the end of this volume, they've both concluded that Light is Kira although they don't have proof yet. Near is essentially L junior while Mello is darker. Neither captures my heart the way L did. When L died (I'm still hoping he's secretly alive), I realized that he truly was the character I liked most.
Just two more. It's an endurance game now.
