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...

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.
