Moriarty the Patriot, Vol. 2 by Ryōsuke Takeuchi
4.0
4.5/5 Stars: ‘Moriarty the Patriot’ (Book #2 of ‘Moriarty’) by Ryōsuke Takeuchi.
→ Age Range: Young Adult.
→ Genre: Mystery, Historical Fiction.
→ Trigger Warnings: Homicide, Oppression, Class-Related Slurs.
In-depth Rating:
→ Plot: ★★★★★
→ Character Development: ★★★★★
→ Setting: ★★★★★
→ Entertainment Level: ★★★★★
→ Writing: ★★★★★
General Comments: Like any medium, the complex and dynamic rivalry between characters is an auto-matic hook; combined with an artwork that is both sinister, and sweet (balanced with beautifully period-related illustrations). The theme of classism is heavily prominent; by centralising Moriarty, and his aim to deconstruct the hierarchal system through murder, it cleverly blurs the line between hero and villain.
Favourite Quote: ‘Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.’
Time Read: One Day.
