My thoughts

I must say I liked this book way more than the first volume. It felt much more realistic to me in a way. (OK, apart from the fact that she jumped off of a 5-story building and survived.. but hey)
I mean, it was still a complicated plot and everything, but it was all somehow explainable from the past events and and it felt somewhat plausible. In comparison, Vol. 1 was just… weird, especially the discrepancy between her choosing to lock herself up and then breaking out of this self-chosen prison… I still don’t really get why she thought this was necessary as she had been found to be innocent at the trial after all…

Anyways, after having studied the people’s names (thanks again for the tip @miwuc!) it started to make more sense with all those people, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tension when Moe wandered around in the research lab at night.

I also enjoyed reading the Japanese as such. I find Mori’s writing style to be very approachable and easy to digest. My reading speed with more difficult books (language-wise or vocab-wise) is still atrocious, and so I’m happy that I managed to read this book quite faster than normal.

Bottom line: Looking forward to Vol. 3, hoping for it to be more like Vol. 2 and less like Vol. 1 :wink:
