review 1: The Twilight Stone reads very much like an anime... in fact, the narrative would fill perhaps about a half-hour's worth of an anime episode, and almost all scenes could be preserved exactly as they've been described here. It is odd how well a visual art like anime could be translated into a written style... even some images very typical of anime (a ghostly figures from a memory or a dream receding rapidly into the background, which the character chases to no avail) are transcribed here in such a way that makes you realize how culturally specific our narrative tropes really are. This book is great for a third grader or advanced second grader who is moving from picture books to independent reading of chapter books. It is great to expose children at such a young age to a diff... moreerent genre than they might be used to (although, to be fair, manga is certainly much more mainstream now than it was when I was in elementary school). The illustrations are also quite well done and appear every three or four pages, giving life to characters that are little more than archetypes, although, I'm sure, pleasing to young imaginations who are discovering the joys of long-form narrative for the first time.
review 2: It was the best book so far that I have read. It was amazing. Some of the characters are Yuri and Nole.The life of Noles past is bad because her mother is killed and she doesnt know if her brother is killed to. she is going to try and find him to see if he is alive. less
