Let's just say my head is swimming right now with all of the twists and turns Ohba introduced. Honestly, I don't know how he keeps track of what's happening *clutches head*

This fourth instalment really cranks up the action and whilst reading this I felt pretty tense throughout. The artwork is stunning...although I am shocked and deeply saddened by the absence of one character in particular!!!

I don't think my poor heart will ever mend :'(

I love what the authors did. They took a risk and they WENT with it. I did not like how they made Light into such an idiot though. The first half was fantastic, risky and well executed. The last half... meh. Could be better. I’m warming around to Near and Mello in this re read...

It’s impressive how intensely things come together in this volume.

Unpopular opinion, but this series does not get weaker after a certain character is no longer on the scene..
