Film Review

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms Cinema Screening Review

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is almost a review within a title; Mari Okada obviously has a lot of talent and fascinating ideas that I’m sure we’ll see blossom as the years go by. Her directional debut may not be perfect but there’s certainly enough to recommend seeing it in cinemas this summer.

Book Review

The Dark Maidens Review

Hardened mystery fans like myself might see through The Dark Maidens' tricks too quickly but there’s something to be said for the fact the story does draw you in. If you don’t cotton on to its endgame then there’s definitely a compelling story of betrayal and mystery here for fans of the genre.
