I always remember FMA as being cute and fluffy and fun, but reading the manga is bringing back all the heavy themes and truly sad, dark moments.

The fate of Nina and Alexander will never lose its power, or its ability to leave me so, so sad.

I didn't think I'd ever fall for manga, but hey...I did.

I attempted this book twice before, and DNF'd it because I knew it was the right book for me, at the wrong time.

Now is most definitely the right time. It just builds and builds, the world, the religions, the characters, the history, becoming deeper and richer and more intriguing by the page. This is fantasy in the vein of Tad Williams, Robert Jordan and Robert Hobb, if you like them, try this.
