polarclaire1612 's review for:
Like the original Death Note series, this light novel had a few problems preventing it from being a 5/5. That being said, L is thoroughly enjoyable and accurate to his original characterization, despite the novel being an au. There are several callbacks to the original, but not in a cliche, overly reliant kind of way. This story still very much is its own even with said callbacks. The original characters for the most part are interesting enough to support L, a pleasant surprise considering the short length of the light novel.
Some of the author’s prose is a little lacking- I believe L is compared to splaying like a frog exposing its belly three separate times in the story. It doesn’t take away from the story other than me personally thinking some of the figures of speech needed to be varied. That’s nitpicking, but I couldn’t help but wish an editor would have suggested some sentences be changed as to help the flow of some paragraphs. Overall I thought the novel was entertaining and is a great read for fans of the series, especially fans of L.
