A review by movingtoguam
Naja by Jean-David Morvan

2.0

Netgalley provided a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have no clue what happened. I really don't. This conclusion was so sudden that I don't know what to do with myself. Sure, some parts were obvious from about halfway into the book, but there were other things that surprised me.

The main character is called Naja and she is a cold blooded assassin. The person who orders her assassinations is only called "Zero" and she doesn't know anything about him. Not what he looks like or what his real name is. Zero has other assassins as well, but she is number three. As the story progresses, we get to meet number one and two as well.
What makes Naja special is that she can't feel anything, not physical nor mental pain.

I love assassins very much and this didn't dissapoint. it took me some time to get used to the drawing style, but afterwards it felt natural and excititing. I had so many questions by the end of the first volume that I just read the whole thing in one go. Things will be explained throughout the novel, but it was such a thrill to discover the secrets and conspiracies.
