A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Daemons of the Shadow Realm #1 - Hiromu Arakawa

I've been reading Fullmetal Alchemist on WebToon, and I saw this manga recommended. I finally got around to reading the first volume.

Yuru lives in a small, mountain village where his sister, Asa, is kept behind bars. One day, "dragons" come and attack the village. Yuru's world is torn apart. The girl he thought of as his sister is an imposter, and he's introduced to his Daemons, Left and Right. They escape the mountain, and from there, it's time to discover the truth.

This surprised me. It's got some elements that are unusual and really creative. There were some little notes at the end that I'm glad I didn't miss. They explained some things that were pretty important and worth knowing. I liked how everyone's Daemons were different.

I'm excited to learn more about Yuru, Asa, and the world they live in. The first book didn't really get into too much of the details, it didn't really have time, but it'll be cool to read more in the future. At present, there are only 10 volumes, but this manga is still ongoing, so I may eventually catch up to this one. Good Book!
