#tales of zestiria spoilers

I only just skimmed the prologue, but I like the way it’s starting out already. The prologue sets the rest of the novel up as a retelling by Maotelus to Sorey, meaning this is set after Zestiria, when Sorey is in his deep sleep to purify Maotelus. Also, their conversation is adorkable, because of course it is. Losers.

Judging by the way the book’s labeled there’s only going to be two volumes… this one stops when Velvet first confronts Artorius in the temple near Loegres. Also, this book’s way easier to read than the book I’m currently working on damn you Capcom so once I’m done the other book it shouldn’t be too hard to translate this one. I wonder if anything new will come out of this book…

zestiria: “so, we have an ancient legend and prophecy that a chosen hero will always rise to stop the growing darkness in the world with the aid of the angelic seraph, who once lived side by side with humanity until they were divided.”

me: “mm-hm, classic, straight forward.”

zestiria: “we have some excalibur parallels and reference a lot of your usual fantasy stuff, asgard is here somewhere. a war between kingdoms, a magical plague on a town, there’s dragons attacking people.”

me: “i see, i see. cheesy and a bit overdone but that’s fine.”

zestiria: “oh and those same angel companions you have, and all seraph like them, are what become dragons should certain things happen-”

me:oh i am in it now
