 The 8th volume of Death Note. It’s hard to believe I’m this far through the series already. After the drama of the last volume, this book feels like a second season – new characters, new conflicts, new stakes. There does feel like there is a hole in this book that the new characters haven’t quite managed to fill, but I am intrigued as to how this change in dynamic will play out. I have enjoyed the secondary characters coming more into the fore and seeing more of the Shinigami. I have no clue how the rest of this series will come together, but I’m looking forward to it.
