Morning: A Novel (Paperback) Review

I picked this book up on the strength of the author's notes.I was unacquainted with W. D.Wetherell's prior work. He deserves all the praise he can garner for this one.It is an original work of high literary value.The use of overarching metaphors that drive the narrative rather than the easier route of simple plotting; the sustained, unbroken drive, and the effort the author makes to dig deeply into the complexity of events and characters - to find believable, psychologically natural justifiction for the events and entanglements he describes are all the mark of a mature literary talent at the height of his descriptive and creative powers.
I began the book with the realization that Mr. Wetherell had set himself up for a difficult task, and I fully expected that there would be the usual sag in the middle, or the overly tidy resolution at the end - a dip into self-reference, nostalgia, sentimentality or a series of overstated metaphors. But the author is relentless in his disciplined judgement and striving for the original and fresh view of his material.
There were passages that I was tempted to skim, the dreamy sequences of stream-of-consciousness inner monologue, but the beauty of the language and the aptness of these sequences to the general plot made me go back and re-read them in detail, and I was inevitably rewarded with insight and understanding.
Great work!

Shrine of the Morning Mist Volume 1 (v. 1) [Paperback] Review

The "Shrine of the Morning Mist" is the first volume of a hot new Manga series from Tokyopop and is based on the hit anime.This brilliant fantasy drama by Hiroki Ugawa will have broad-based appeal to many Anime and Manga fans.The story tells of a group of sisters named Yuzu, Kurako, Tama, and Miko who are priestesses who protect the world from demons and evil spirits.Kurako, the eldest sister, says ominously that "Evil is flocking to him and we must make preparations".Who are they talking about?Well we soon learn they are talking about their cousin Tadahiro.

Tadahiro is returning home to the city for the first time in five years and he hints at a mysterious letter about his father.He's soon attacked by a demonic figure and only the timely interaction of his cousins saves him from the creature.Tadahiro is taken to their home but is not exactly give a warm welcome by his uncle who immediately tears into him about an incident years ago when he and Yuzu went on a harmless date.Uncle wants him out and even though he loses in a family vote, he overrules his daughters and Tadahiro is sent packing.

While taking up residence in his new home, however, he is attacked by an enormous creature that kind of looks like an earth elemental.Will the sisters rescue him again in time?Just why are demons targeting Tadahiro and why?We'll have to keep reading to find out.I really enjoyed this Manga even though I have not seen the Anime that it was based on (but I think I'll try and rectify that soon).Ugawa's art is crisp and simply breathtaking.It's also easy to follow in the action sequences.Can't wait until Volume 2!
