Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. this was just too much for me, I do like plots that involve protagonists sharing a body with some kind of demon/monster they have to try and control BUT I really don't like this world and there's just too much dark shit even for me.. I will not be continuing with this series ( ) This book took me by surprise on so many levels. First we have settings. Set on alternative Earth around the beginnings of Industrialization we are presented with breathing and living world where Humans (technology) are waging silent war against Arcanics (magic). Between these two you have plethora of creatures, starting from wise-cracking cats (as far as I can see separate race completely and considering they are true offspring of Gods and others are faulty races - I mean ... cats, right :)), wondrous animals used for traveling, monstrous apparitions from other dimensions, strange creatures lurking under guises of Humans and of course (again this book is very much a steam-punk story) dirigibles and sky ships. Then we have story. Entire story happens during uneasy armistice between Humans and Arcanics. Both races found themselves at the stalemate after one especially destructive event that cost thousands of lives on both sides. Now both sides are licking their wounds and trying to find this unknown weapon to use it against their foes. And then in the middle of all of this we have our main protagonist Maika Halfwolf, Arcanic girl seeking revenge against the most powerful person in Human realm. As the story progresses we can see that Maika is more than it meets the eye - at times terrible power strikes out from within her and causes havoc to friend or foe surrounding her. And finally we have art. Man, what a beautiful art. Each panel is just mesmerizing. Trust me you need to see it to believe it. To be honest this is what hooked me - when I saw it I knew this was truly a gem. All in all exquisite book. Highly recommended to all comic and beautiful arts fans.

I can't even give it any rating because from the outside, I can recognize it as a stunning piece of work, with truly beautiful illustrations and an interesting story. However, i choose not to read stories with too much death, violence, and blood, especially visual ones, so I did not get very far.

Nach den traumatischen Ereignissen des ersten Bandes befinden sich die Arkane Maika, das kleine Fuchsjunge Kippa und die Katze Ren auf der Reise ins sagenumwobene Thyria, um dort mehr u?ber Maikas Mutter und deren Vergangenheit herauszufinden. Dabei st?ßt die ungleiche Reisegruppe nicht nur auf eine neue, schreckliche Gefahr, sondern wird auch von einer alten Freundin verfolgt ... die absolut nicht das ist, was sie immer zu sein schien. Die Geschichte um Maika Halbwolf, die sowohl ein dunkles Geheimnis, als auch ein ?berm?chtiges Monster in sich tr?gt findet im furiosen zweiten Band zum Erfolgshit des letzten Jahres seine Fortsetzung. Star des Comics ist das wundersch?ne Artwork von Sana Takeda und die faszinierende neue Fantasy-Welt aus der Feder von Marjorie Liu. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
