Moon Child 12
Posted: January 11, 2009 Filed under: Moon Child Leave a comment »I thought this series was actually 14 volumes long, but it looks like the next volume will be the last. That’s probably for the best, because this volume was pretty slow. It makes sense if the next volume is the last though, because a lot of time was spent discussing the setup for and possible consequences of the meltdown of Chernobyl.
Shonach shows up in Kiev and he and Seth get together to puzzle over the Teruto/Gil Owen mystery. I don’t think either of them quite figure it out, but Shonach may be on the brink. They wind up… otherwise engaged before too long, though.
The character introduced last volume actually does have ties to Art. He actually makes Art question his sanity. This ties in with Benjamin being tortured beyond her limit by Teruto. She thinks she will cause the meltdown, and starts provoking Art so that he’ll kill her.
It ends on one of the worst cliffhangers I’ve ever seen. I know the next volume is the last and all, but… those last two pages were really harsh.
