Book Reviews of Clover #2

Book Review: Sweet story of love, loss, and seeing the world.
Summary: 5 Stars

The second volume of Clover finishes off the main story. In fact, you'd be best of reading it just after finished volume one as it literally picks up where the first one left off.

This volume also has the real emotional wallop of the story. Volume One sets up the world the characters live in and the basic plot: former government agent Kazuhiko is assigned to take a young girl of unknown origin to an amusement park in a dark, future society. En route, of course, they run into opposition and a couple allies.

The real pay-off is when the two arrive at Fairy Park, and we learn why Kazuhiko was chosen, his connection to the girl, her desire to go to the deserter park in the first place, and her connection both to a song constantly playing in the background, and the singer, Kazuhiko's dead love Ora. There's some action, some destruction, some death, but the focus is clearly in this volume on the girl Gingestsu, who hasn't really seen too many other people, and the reasons why. The themes are similar to the desires of David the robot in Spielberg's movie A.I., though for different purposes and less "happy" ending, leaving the characters feeling haunted by the young girl, what she could do, and why she did what she did.

Summary of Clover #2

Withdrawn and seemingly fragile, Sue is a Four-Leaf Clover who possesses unique abilities and is feared by a militaristic government that isolates her from the world. Her confinement ends when Sue insists that she must journey to a fabulous playground called Fairy Park. Fearing subversive organizations that would kill to capture the "Clover" and exploit her abilities, the government asks Kazuhiko, a noble and dejected soldier, to come out of retirement in order to escort and protect Sue on her journey.

Later, Sue regrets having ever left the cage after she reveals to Kazuhiko her connection to her guardian, and Ora, the woman that Kazuhiko loved. Now Kazuhiko is even more determined to protect Sue even if it means giving up his own life battling a surrounding Azaien army!
