![]() I came into this graphic novel with the perspective of having read book 1 of the novel but not this book two or a graphic novel adaptation. Along the way, expect Carrigers wonder cast of characters to grow. Alexia and Connall will have to travel to Scotland to try to solve the riddle. ![]() No one seems to know why but a clue may lie with Connal's former wolf pack. And plot points were clunkily conveyed, making the story hard to follow.Īlexia and Connall are enjoying marital bliss when they are confronted with a very serious problem concerning the supernaturals: their curses are broken and they are back to being human. Characters are overwrought and poorly translated from the book. Though not a terrible adaptation, this really does condense the book down to its barest essence - eschewing a lot of the wit and personality in the process. Soulless The manga, Volume 2, takes on book two of the Parasol protectorate series. I would've given it 4 stars anyway if the art had been the same as its predecessor, since this is a manga adaptation of a novel and the point of such an adaptation is the art and seeing the characters you love come to life in a way, but the art in this one was subpar, not only in comparison to the first volume but in general. ![]() I liked that the volume implemented or made clearer developments that will be important in future installments that may have not been there or not seemed important when this novel was written, but someone who is not familiar with the novel will probably be confused by the story in this one, so I would recommend being familiar with the novel first. Some panels even looked like early drafts or half done, and they has none of the attention to detail, meticulous care and beauty that has made me read the first volume about 5 times. The second volume had the same problems but they were a lot clearer here: they tried to simplify the story far too much and it came off as convoluted and slightly erratic, they reduced Alexia and Conall's interactions to the bare minimum and the chemistry, which is one of the most appealing aspects of the novel, was almost entirely lost, and the art was changed from the first volume and was inconsistent throughout the volume, sometimes even ugly. True, the plot had to be condensed, some developments had to be forgone, and Alexia's personality didn't translate perfectly into the format, but they did a fairly good job at adapting it and the art was absolutely gorgeous. I adore the first volume in the manga adaptations of The Parasol Protectorate. Looks like I'll be diving headfirst into volume 3 very soon indeed! The ending.well, it knocked me for six! Talk about a real cliffhanger. I'm also starting to fall for Professor Lyall, Lord Maccon's beta - he's soo dreamy *swoons*Įlsewhere, Lady Maccon's best friend, Ivy Hisselpenny and Maccon's Valet, Tunstell have eloped after finally admitting their feelings for each other, and the riddle as to why the werewolves could not become supernatural is solved.Īll in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read and.oh yes, I forgot to mention the ending. There is a bit of flirting which ensues between her and Lady Maccon too! We also meet Madame Lefoux who is an androgynous character and I must say very easy on the eye. The plot is a little more complex this time and involves a spy who is actually very close to Lady Maccon. Here, we meet his extended family including his great 圆 grandaughter, Lady Kingair. She takes a trip to Scotland, to where her handsome husband Lord Maccon has gone on a business trip involving his werewolf pack. ![]() ![]() Volume 2 focuses more on Lady Maccon and her role as the Queen's Muhjah. ![]()
