Highly Addictive

This series is amazing. I can't stop reading it. Its a dark, gory story like Tokyo Ghoul and Deadman Wonderland mixed together.

intro to paradise

In this volume we learn more about the main characters Gabimaru and Sagari and what they have been through to become the killers that they are. After we are introduced to the other murderers and guards that will be going to the island, I started to lose track of who was who and what exactly was going on. While I liked the idea of the paradise plants and bugs taking over bodies and the mystery of what is going on, I was losing track of who’s backstory we were seeing flashbacks for and who was alive or dead.

Gabimaru rides again!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Volume 2 follows the story of Gabimaru as he continues to search for the elixir of life while battling other ninjas for the right to a pardon of his crimes. Once again, lots of action, and I love to see the way that the ninjas interact with each other. I particularly love Sagiri.
