However, I still do not understand what is happening with this story. I do not plan on continuing to read this series. ( ) Mui offers to help Soah go back home, but she refuses, saying that Habaek is deeply in love with her. In reality, she's hiding something that makes going home an impossibility. Mui's comment that his words are Habaek's words does prompt Soah to begin wondering about the connection between Mui and Habaek. One god tells her that they're really the same person, while another tells her that this is a lie. Who's telling the truth? The only way to find out is to see if Habaek has the same tattoo on his chest that Mui has on his. This continues to be a very slow-paced series, but I did like this volume a little more than the first. There are multiple mysteries in play: what everyone's motivations are, what happened to Nakbin (Habaek's previous wife), and Soah's secret. I'm interested to find out what's going on. I have the same comments about the artwork that I did in my review of the first volume - it's generally very beautiful, and the full-color pages are so pretty that I wish the entire volume could be in color. That said, I'm still not a fan of the author's preferred "long and bony" physique for everyone. The tone is occasionally a bit odd. The bulk of it feels almost dreamlike, which can occasionally be confusing, especially when brief flashback moments are worked in (I mistook Nakbin for Soah at one point), but there are also a few very comedic moments, such as when Soah contemplates somehow having to strip both Habaek and Mui to see their chests. All in all, it's pretty and not bad, but the pacing could probably be better. Extras: A couple pages of full-color artwork, three 4-panel "author afterword" comics, a short note from the author, and a "creator photo gallery" composed of 5 black-and-white photos of the author, which I don't think I've ever seen before in a series like this. (Original review posted on A Library Girl's Familiar Diversions.) In v.2 Soah learns more about Habaek/Mui and is given a few indications of who Nakbin was. It's clear that Soah has feelings for Mui, though she is still without real proof that he IS the child god Habaek. One scene I didn't understand all too well was the gods market they visit (of course at night so Mui can save Soah from the blind menace). Actually for the amount of time this series takes place at night, it almost makes it seem as if their entire coterie is nocturnal. We get a few scenes with Habaek to show that it's not perpetually night, but that's about it. This volume's all about the developing relationship between the water god and his bride. From the previous volume, Habaek was pressured by the presence of his mother and as Mui, he told her to go back to her world. But Soah said an unexpected thing by lying that Habaek is in love with her and she wouldn’t leave him. This confused Mui who is also Habaek, and began to wonder about his attachment to her. Soah wondered why Mui wanted her to go back and Tae Eul Jin In revealed to her that Habaek and Mui is the same person. Soah remained unconvinced by deathly suspicious with the possibility. She thought about the scene when she accidentally saw him half naked *hmm* and noticed a tattoo on his chest. So she became determined to find out the truth but things was never what it seems. In this volume, I see the development is Soah and Habaek/Mui relationship. Soah grew attached to Mui and is worried about the prophecy of her being in love by two guy. Little did she know, her presence in the world of the gods, Suguk, attracted more nefarious things to her. Hidden agenda and sabotage became a side conflict in this book. The side characters in the earlier is slightly well developed when some of the back stories are slowly embedded into the chapters. Mui began to detect Huye’s feelings for Soah and is unwilling to let her go. Honestly, even with the slow moving chapters, it does get interesting at the end. I was intrigued by the plot and it does seems like Yami No Matsuei for a while but of course, it doesn’t have overtone of Yaoi. Its a fast reading and I was pleased with character development. Soah is becoming more approachable and she does have occasional funny bones in her. I’ll look forward to the continuation of the series. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
