Maybe I needed the first volume

There's something about airports. When I'm flying, I pick up reading material I would normally have passed over. That's how I came to pick up DFMN.

This is the second in a series, and I never read the first. That always gives the feeling that I walked in partway through someone else's conversation, and missed whatever it was that would have made the sequel make sense. I'm not so sure, though.

Our Heroes are taken by mysterious sparkling beings and set into an unfamiliar world. For some reason, that is a dangerous world. Even with births, their numbers dwindle. Then they taken by mysterious and malignant being and set into a cavernous world. They are kept alive for reasons unknown, and then <<plot discontinuity>> and the survivors are set into another unfamiliar world. Despite unexplained visitations from the dead, their numbers dwindle in this dangerous environment. In the final onslaught <<plot discontinuity>> and there is only one left. She is taken by the original mysterious beings and set into an unfamiliar environment.

That's about it. I guess. There are some goings-on between characters that I've skipped over, maybe the book was about those. I dunno.

This review is on the first volume, not the story as a whole. This review is also spoiler free.

In the first book of the series we get an introduction into the writing style and the setting. For me, the pacing moved a little fast but it's nice to watch kind hearted people try to do things for each other. I'd have liked to see a slower development, especially given that this series appears to have run for 8 volumes thus far. The friendships between three of the main characters (minus HImari, the titlur character) is sweet and I'd definately like to learn more about how they came to be. The ending left me wanting to know more about Aoi.

The art style is pretty standard to Shojou manga with big eyes. The expressions on the characters in this book seems to focus on the mouths rather than body language which gets some ... interesting results. Considering I'm still interested in where this series ends up, I'll be looking for the 2nd book. It's not incredibly high on my list of MUST reads and it took me a while to get to this book in the first place, but I definately wouldn't take it OFF my TBR. I'm treating this like a television show: if I don't love it by the 5th book, I'll be dropping the series.

The book came on time and packaged well although I think Amazon needs to work on using smaller boxes for books. It makes me feel bad when I don't order 3 or 4 at a time. Also it came damage free, so there's that!

After a slow start to the series, this volume left me wishing I could read French, so I didn't have to wait for the translation of Volume Three.

It was OK I may read his first book in order to see if I'm willing to want to read the entire series

After reading this final volume, I felt there needed to be one more volume to provide answers to those parts of earlier stories which the authors have failed to bring closure.

I was disappointed to find this should have been a 2 volume set and only the first volume was included. I've still not found volume 2. Volume one is amazing, comprehensive, and useful. I just need the rest of the set.

The first volume was better. This one wasn't "bad" and it even had some really great "oh wow" moments for plot and art. But it felt a little inconsistent and suffered some in comparison to Gotham City Sirens One, which had stronger cohesive storytelling. I felt there were loose ends and plot holes in several places, but I know that's at least partly because I've not read some related comic volumes that would fill in some of the blanks, so: forgivable. I do love these characters and overall it was a fun and entertaining read. Bottom line is, if there were more to the series, I'd keep reading.

Almost what I wanted, but it did not let me know that there was another volume to buy.  I am in the process of returning another second volume Algebra 2, which did not indicate the number of chapters in that textbook(this second volume had only up to chapter 9, but I needed the chapters going all the way up to chapter 14).  I am disappointed with most of the people who are selling these volumes-because they do not list all of the chapters before purchasing.

The first chapter really caught my attention but the lack of tools to accomplish the ideas introduced in the chapter was disappointing. Maybe this wasn't the lesson I needed right now.

I liked the first book, but I haven't purchased the subsequent volumes yet. Eventually I will because I want to find out what happens.

Maybe I should have started with the third volume.  The first volume, "Awakening",  earns an extremely high rating on the "woo-woo" scale. Campbell provides a pretty detailed biography of his personal experiences with cosmic consciousness, in a variety of colors.  Every few pages, he repeats the assertion that his experiences were entirely objective. However, I started to loose interest about two thirds of the way through, beginning to doubt that he was ever going to offer any actual evidence for the truth of his assertions. Of course, maybe that information is found in the second and third volumes.

Was missing one of the books when I recieved it and also didn't realize you needed the first set also.

i already have volume 1, so i ordered volumes 2 and 3 as you know, but it appears that all three volumes are the same programmes, i was not very impressed with the situation, but decided to keep all of them as it would cost too much to send volumes 2 and 3 back.

This is a book that requires reading twice or more to fully 'get it'. Unless you happen to be a mathematician then you may get it on the first read as you would be familiar with the material.

I ended up buying the Volume one also.  The volume two only has ballistic data and not loading data.  My mistake for not reading the description.

Downloaded all of the series and therefore got the bonus extra volume too.
Is useful for the step-outs to the various patterns, and in the first volume the background info and hints re materials was good. However to have the same info verbatim at the start of all the subsequent volumes is in my view a con. Shame because the patterns for beginners /less experienced are useful.

The second volume continues the themes created in the first volume.  If you are buying all of the volumes at once, maybe just start with the first and then decide.
