"Nobody has been inside Manhattan for the past three years, and with good reason. It's become a place of wild, dark magic, where technology and the laws of science do not work. And it's at war with the United States--a dark kingdom that seeks to spread across the river to the rest of the world, with armies of trolls, goblins, imps, ghouls and harpies gathering under the command of a dark sorcerer: Everett Winterthorn. Isaac Silverberg is his former apprentice who is plucked from Death Row and given a final chance to redeem himself. The US Army gives him an offer he can't refuse: his life, in exchange for the rescue of the New Jersey governor's daughter, apparently kidnapped by Winterthorn's minions and taken into the depths of the Magic Kingdom.

This is too dry and the characters are too flat for me. ( )

This is a manga for people who enjoy Christian fiction and don't mind being smacked in the face with the message. I received this in a multi-trade on a trans-Atlantic flight and would not have read it at all had I not thought it was a "regular" fantasy tale. Unfortunately, there is no indication on the cover that it's an overt religious story, so it ended up in the hands of someone who didn't enjoy it at all. The art is somewhat interesting, but at times so busy that it's difficult to keep track of what is actually happening. Highly not recommended. ( )
