review 1: It's in volume 8 that comes (one of?) the biggest revelations of the series: Yuuki is actually Kaname's sister... Or not really, because Kaname is not actually the one we thought he was, but rather the Ancestor of the Kuran family that was awoken by Rido Kuran. We're not quite sure how this happened yet (and I had not reached the part of the story when it is actually explained the first time I read this), but Juri and Haruka Kuran's first son (who would have been Kaname) soul's has been stolen from them and been replaced by the Ancestor's soul or something.So whether or not Kaname is really Yuuki's sister, they're still related which makes the series seem really weird now (and it is). It's kind of funny that things turned out this way because I remember when I was younger ... moreand watched the anime, one of the first things I thought was how Kaname and Yuuki would make a weird couple because they looked so much alike. But at the same time, Matsuri Hino's characters all seem to have the same face... Strong point of this volume: Rima was so cool when she was fighting with Rido and wanted to wake up Shiki. Seriously, she would make such a better heroine than Yuuki.
review 2: Whoa! Whiplash, slow down! I did NOT see that coming! So many crucial plot twists in this book! A lot of questions are answered, but the entire dynamic of the book changes. Yuki has suddenly, subtly shifted loyalties - well maybe not so subtly - and is now one basically on Kaname's team rather than Zero's. I was still trying to wrap my head around the idea that Yuki is a pureblood vampire who's vampire genetics were sealed away, as well as Kaname's younger sister, but not only his younger sister of course, but also his affianced bride-to-be from birth... and then mid-book it switches up again, and Kaname reveals that he is not Yuki's brother, but actually the progenitor of the Kuran line! Talk about information overload! I feel so bad for Zero, everytime it seems like his world can't fall apart any further, someone finds a way to add insult to injury. Now I REALLY can't tell what's going to happen! It's finally getting good - and it was great before, so you can imagine how excellent its becoming! I'm thrilled! Can't wait to read more! less
