Today's post is on Claymore volume 17: The Claws of Memory by Norihiro Yagi. It is the seventeenth the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first sixteen volumes to understand the story. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has a close-up of Clare of it. The intended reader is someone who likes dark plots, high action, and strong female characters. There is mild foul language, no sexuality, and lots of violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- With the balance of power broken after Isley's defeat by the foreious Abyss Feeders, the Organization, central hub of the Claymores, deploys Alicia and Beth to the West to go after the renegade Riful. In turn, Riful continues her scheme to Awaken the remains of the powerful Rafaela. As these dire powers all finally collide, Clare and her comrades must fight for their lilves in the titanic battle that ensues.
Review- In this volume we truly get to see how terrible the Abyss Feeders are. They are sent after Riful and the fight with her is sickening. She is very powerful and has not been hounded by them like Isley was. But then the field of battle changes when Rafaela Awakens. She and her sister become something called the Destroyer. She does not move but is sending out spikes that will infect anyone it touches with some part of her new self. Everyone is just trying to get out of the way. I have no idea what Clare and Co. can do against her now but I will see soon even.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this volume with my own money.
