Re-hash of some old memories...

So I've been reading a lot of comics lately... not sure if I mentioned that I like comics or that I read them, but I do. I also have been trying to read more non comic literature. I'm not a heavy reader so I figured I'd start with some light novels. And what better place to start than one of my favorite series…

Sword Art Online

I’ve been told that there are a lot of these books and when I did some digging… they were right. They aren’t really long, maybe 250~300 pages each from what I gathered so it should go pretty quickly. I’m just about done the first book and I had forgotten how much I loved this story. There’s a little bit of everything sprinkled in just right… Fantasy, Action, Drama, Romance… They all come together so well. I’ve seen the series… and the little go between hour OVA or mini-movie. I’ve seen the second series as well and even went to a special showing of Ordinal Scale the movie a month or so ago.

Edit: First book finished and I’m starting to see how they divvied up the chapters and set the structure of the anime episodes. Those side stories with Silica and Lisbeth had to be sprinkled in at the right times.
