review 1: This volume started off with so much promise. Again we got to see Ciel play dirty, all while being incredibly shrewd about the whole thing. We finally get to see Ciel and Sebastian start making some headway on discovering Derrick's whereabouts or even what has happened to him. The build up of the mystery to the missing boys is getting quite good and suddenly the volume tappers off into one of the longest, drawn out, and incredibly boring plots ever. A cricket game. The four house are having a cricket tournament and Ciel needs to come out as the 'best' player in order to catch an audience with the headmaster.I can honestly say that I got quite bored of this aspect of the story. I felt it derailed quite quickly from the initial storyline and it went on frustratingly long. I ... morefeel like we had a whole volume wasted on a sporting event and a flashback that really had no real relevance to anything in terms of the overall story.What I did enjoy with this volume, as I always do, is the art. Even the most boring aspects of this volume at least had lovely, expressive pictures to look at, so when the story fails, there is always the art. I am hoping that with the next volume we finally 'get to it'. I've had enough build up of mystery and after the tedious cricket match, I am ready for answers to the questions surrounding the school and the missing students.
review 2: Before trying this book remember that Yen Press has a rating system to protect you from things you are not ready for yet. In the case of this book the rating is OT for Older Teen for Language and Violence. If you can handle that then hop on in to this fine series. :)Ciel and Sebastian continue their investigation into the mysterious Weston College and the unique characters that attend it. What they find out is that the headmaster's will is absolute within the schools confines so Ciel's only hope is meet the headmaster and proceeds to plot as he does so well.Within this book you will see the result of good and bad cooking as well as arson, flashbacks, and learn how to play Cricket.I am a bit biased with this series with do many interesting characters and amazing artwork following an ongoing saga of a boy and his pet demon. My favorite part of the book would have to be when Elizabeth's mother realized Sebastian was at Weston as well and insists he explains what was happening. less
