The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 2 (light novel): Plus Ultra (SAGA OF TANYA EVIL LIGHT NOVEL SC) Paperback – Illustrated, 20 Mar. 2018

Having watched the anime adaptation I already had a good understanding of the story line, but I have very much enjoyed reading the series and can't wait for when the next volume is translated! The books give a better understanding of the background of Tanya's actions and those of her superiors which I really enjoyed. I also love the reference to historical figures and battles as a but of a history nerd.The translations are alsp much better and make much more sense than some other light novel series that I've read. I feel this may be in part down to the European esque setting which rids the story of often mistranslated japanes cultural references.

The concept is really interesting and incredible. I also really like it is read from the perspective of different characters. Would recommend to anyone over 13 or history lovers.

I felt that this one was a little short in comparison to the first one but still enjoyed nonetheless, my only gripes are that a couple images are missing from this release and that wait is so long for the final part.

My son asked for this book for his 13th birthday. He finished it in 2 days and said he loved it.

He did it againThese would be amazing books, they really would, but I sometimes wonder if Carlo Zen is deliberately making these books as hard to read as possible and intentionally ruining the natural flow.Events cut back and forth from place to place from different points in time that you have to pay attention to the dates of the subchapters, this can make for a confused mess of events if you are not paying attention, because it does mean that characters it moves characters from one setting to another, when you don't know why or how they got there until you find out that it's a totally different time period and we're now dealing with past events. Not to mention that there is then a different narrative of future events overlaid, so it does keep jumping back and forth from place to place and through all different time settings.For me the worst sin is that we have different interwoven stories going on, and the one that is set outside of the timeline of the events Tanya in seems unnecessary and just serves to break up the flow of events.

The concept is brilliant and there are nuggets of good writing. The author just doesn't seem to know how to put it all together in a narrative that flows.

Excellent story books

Characters, story, level of detail, pace - incredible light novel!
