Reviews

[Mizuki · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.6 stars. If you are new to Natsuhiko Kyogoku's novels, I won't suggest you to begin with this four parts series. The story is quite long-winded and the author keeps throwing his book bags at you throughout the story, showing off his wide range of knowledge on history, fairytale, Japanese demon folklore, Chinese demon folklore, psychology, history of World War II etc etc etc. I admit the guy did a lot of research and he knew what he was writing about, but sometimes readers just don't have that much patience, I guess?

I'm okay with this volume but as a whole I think it isn't a book series for everyone, so be careful!

四本一起评。

[Lucida · Rating 4 out of 5]

两部共评：
1. 上部， 炫学出色，但是似乎跟妖怪的隐喻之间失去联系。悬念铺陈十足，可给5分。但是以催眠术作为题眼实在有点无聊。
2. 下部，结局情节狗血，近乎胡编乱造。看在把这么多线索艰难串在一起的份上，给个4分吧。关口在本部纯属躺枪，情节莫名奇妙。

这世界上虽然没有任何不可思议的事情，但是把这么多离奇内容拼凑在一起，确实有点不可思议。

太长了这四本书，看得很爽但也有点累的
