Title: Demon Hunter Series: Yamada Monogatari Author: Richard Parks Rating: 2 of 5 Stars Genre: SFF Pages: 288 Format: Kindle Synopsis: Yamata is a generalized demon hunter. Spirits, changlings, ogres, etc, he can deal with them all. Set in historic Japan, this is a book of short stories about Yamata and his adventures. My Thoughts: Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she had to walk into mine. I was expecting this read to be very anime'y. What I got was 1920's crime noir transposed over a historic Japan. I kept waiting for the main character, Yamata, to puff on a stogey and shoot someone with a .45. And I kept imagining Humphrey Bogart in a kimono. And then near the end the author crossed one of the lines I've drawn for myself in regards to what I will and will not read and that crossed him off of any future reads. Even without that, I kept looking at the percentage on my kindle to see if I was almost done yet. Never a good sign. "… (plus d'informations)
The story was compelling, but the prose was so outrageously flat that every plot twist came as a weird kind of whiplash surprise - there was no tension, no build-up, no sense of what was going on. Apparently this character started out in short stories, which might be better.

Darn, but I love this one. This is the good stuff.
Though perhaps not for everyone.
This is not for religious people. At least nobody too deep in Christianity IMO.
