absolutely love it

the story is pretty surreal, but this is what we're here for on vampire Hunter d. if you're reading this review clearly you're a fan. lol.

Blue or red pill

Production is great, literally like a movie in my mind. The author seems to always have a template of a 18 yo girl in the mix but this story was very surreal and I also like that nobilities are just merely a plot to further make story moving as oppose to be having vampires as actual characters.

The narrator is frustrating

I had previously listened to the regular recordings of these books with a single performer. This is a neat concept but the main narrator/performer is very difficult to listen to.

Masterpiece

Brilliant and unique. One of the best yet in the series. Can’t wait to read more

A Masterful Production

A new adventure for D and new puzzles that just stack on top of more puzzles. More cerebral than more of D's adventures, this is another excellent tale from the mind of Hideyuki Kikuchi.

least favorite entry

I love the franchise, but this is my least favorite entry. Manga version was no better. Next entry is great, though.

Feels like a filler. Good story with a complex narrative but doesn't add much depth to the world

Most of the books up until now have been pretty lore heavy,in some way expanding our knowledge of the vampire hunter universe . This book is a bit insulated. I don't think you'll learn that much more about the world if you listen. But it's still a high quality story that forces you to follow closely to get what's going on.
