A review by kristensk
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Valley of White Petals (Novel) by Makoto Inoue

3.0

Like the previous two Fullmetal Alchemist novels, the plot is carried less by the manga and anime's trademark alchemy action and more by the slowly building plot and the character interactions. Both are well done in this installment, and I enjoyed following Ed and Al as they uncovered Wisteria's secrets. The only downside to me was that the antagonist would have been more interesting if they hadn't immediately devolved into spouting villainous cliches as soon as their scheme was revealed.
