adventurous challenging tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

Makoto Inoue crafts a convincing  and exciting fantasy world. The characters are rounded and believable. The adventure keeps us guessing.  Certainly some hope is achieved by the end but I would also like the brothers  achieve more of their long-term goal or at least have some indication of how that may happen.  This is an engaging novel based on some best-selling manga.
