Full Metal Panic! [Light Novel] 8: Burning One-Man Force

So far, this is the book I've enjoyed the least. After the events on "Continuing on my Own", Sagara is a "man with a mission". He has a target and he has a plan, or so it seems.

The truth is that I found the book lacking in plot advancement and much slower than the previous ones. So much as to not being able to oversee the evident flaws in this saga, this is mindless fun, nothing more.

Accompaning Sagara there are a couple of new characters. A lively girl quite similar to Kaname Chidori but no so engaging and deep -if that can be said from the stereotypical characters we find in these books- and a french journalist that in the end is not that much interesting either. I found myself missing not just Chidori, but also Weber, Mao and even show more Tessa, more and more. On top of that, Sousuke didn't feel like himself and more than once I thought, "Really? After all that's happened!"

So, I guess this is the book I would skip if I ever read these saga again. show less
