Never would 15 year-old me expect 42 year-old me to be reading a Vampire Hunter D light novel, yet here we are.

It's nuts. Any book that starts "12,090 AD. It is a dark time for the world" is something at least worth checking out. I thought the world-building was really, really awesome and there were some interesting characters to latch on to (i.e. Larmica). 

I expected to power this one and never again, but I'd totally read another one of these. But first, the movie!
