Reviews

Grade 11 Up–Living an extremely sheltered life, Clarissa and Mizeria have no idea that they alone have the power to open and close the four doors of chaos. The twins learn of their birthright on their 16th birthday. Their tutor, Rikhter, abducts Clarissa, uses her to open a door, and leaves Mizeria to die as the monsters rush out. She is saved by a cute but irritating guardian and agrees to join the quest to shut the doors, if only to get her sister back. The plot is convoluted and paper thin but no one reads Goth literature for the plots. It's all about the dresses, the romance, and the monsters, which this volume delivers in spades. The artwork, while beautiful (especially the pages in between the chapters), is inconsistent. Mizeria sometimes looks like a typical shojo heroine, sometimes a china doll, and at other times a much older woman. However, the series has a lot of artistic potential. The book has some nudity and sexual situations. It's a good addition wherever dark works like Kaori Yuki's Godchild series (Viz Media) is in demand.–Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA
