Review:
I really need to be better about taking notes, especially if it's going to end up being weeks or months before I finally write my review.
The first half of this volume has a feel similar to the previous one - we've got an urban fantasy series with a weird supernatural mystery, and Zhao Yunlan and his people have been called in to help. This time around, it's hospital patients writhing in pain that seems to have no physical source.
By the second half of the volume, however, we're neck-deep in the mythology of this series, as Zhao Yunlan learns more about what Shen Wei has been hiding from him, and what his and Shen Wei's connection to "Kunlun" is.
I have to admit, I would have loved it if the series had stayed like volume 1 and the first half of this volume, exploring supernatural mysteries while Zhao Yunlan flirted wildly with a blushing Shen Wei. The mythology in the latter part of this volume was difficult for me to follow, and I'm somewhat concerned that the next (final!) volume will be more of the same.
Extras:
Two full-color illustrations at the start, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and an appendix with a character and name guide and a glossary.
