I waited over half a year to lay my hands on the Devil May Cry novel.

And I can say it was worth all the waiting. For those who haven't read it. Tony Redgrave is a mercenary, but he doesn't take on whatever job that is offered.

Thanks to his unusual strength he is considered to be the best, and thus gets most of the offers. However he's position changes when Gilver appears in Bobby's Cellar. And from that day nothing looks the same. From the first page it becomes fully clear that Tony Redgrave is Dante. The same way one can guess that Gilver is actually Vergil. When I started reading I hoped for some good action. And I'm not disappointed. For me, the action is amazing. Along with his unhealthy appetite for strawberry sundaes wonder where anime makers found that idea Another advantage of the novel is big font yeah, I like big fonts, I'm not ashamed and manga-style drawings.

I can't say they're of the greatest quality, but their atmosphere is something that lacks the second novel which I haven't read yet.

If I was to focus on the plot. The general idea is not bad however the plotholes are hard not to notice. But as long as the action is going well, all I can do is laugh about some parts' stupidity and go on reading. There are really poor fragments like the sudden change from Tony to Dante, when you think "God, this is the same man?

Tony wasn't such an idiot Devil hunter Dante! Overall, I can say it wasn't that bad. And personally for me, it was quite good novel. The general attitude of Tony. The fighting style of Dante.

His oversized sword. However, we don't know anything about where Dante lives he doesn't have his own shop yet and what he does except drinking, eating strawberry sundaes no mention of pizza! I liked it anyway :D. Where do I begin? The Devil May Cry novels have some dear yet mixed memories for me. My interest in them blossomed in , I'd say. I would often see them just neatly sitting there on the shelf in the Boardwalk library, in the area where I'd often hang out instead of the community room, or just browse through what they had there.

Ah, the memories in that small area Many, many dear memories with me and my best friend. Other memories reside as well aside from with only him, but any moment shared with him have always been the most important to me.

Anyway, moving on. I never really knew what these novels were aside from Devil May Cry. Boy, was I wrong, haha! I actually did read some of it, like a random chapter out of one of the books while I was waiting for my dear best friend, back in I wanna say , then I never read it again until last year, despite my reoccuring intentions to between those years.

It took me a while to get through the first arc, honestly It just took me a while to get past Denvers, which is horrible because he's only in maybe 4 chapters at max. But about the time I got to Grue and his daughters and seeing Dante or rather, Tony interact with them, I was totally immersed. It was like he really had a family in his crime partner and his family. Well, actually From the very beginning of the book, demons wreak havoc throughout the night, some of which are very familiar enemies to the first, second, and third games so basically iconic DMC small enemies.

In the beginning, they live in the shadows and only come out during a certain time of night, picking off any unlucky civilians who happen to be out that late, which just so happens to be Denvers after his 99th fight with Tony. This fight was definitely a big one too, he had a butt load of paid mercenaries at his disposal, all armed and pointed at Tony. Reluctantly, Tony disposes of every single one of them in the time it takes for a dust cloud to clear, however, his beloved red coat suffers the necessary sacrifice for surviving such an insane barrage of bullets against one man.

Tony tosses his coat to Denvers and tells him to get it fixed for him, then wanders off to go drinking at the dinkiest bar around, his favorite place, and the mercenary gathering hub-- Bobby's Cellar. As for Denvers, he parts ways and begrudgingly heads to a shop to see if he can't get the darned coat fixed.

As the air grows chillier, and the night grows darker, Denvers covers up with the red swiss cheese coat, anything to help warm his flesh. She's a curt old woman who is always focused in her work and always scolds Tony for being reckless, and yet she'll never turn him away. Even when she tells him to get out, she still won't mind it if he stayed, and she often lets him mooch food off of her too, and allows him to pay her in payments.

For all the smack she gives him, he gets a lot of slack from her too. Now, as for Denvers. Being that he's dead, you'd think he wouldn't see of him again, right? Well, as seen with a couple incidents already that Tony and his partner Grue have had to deal with, something has been raising the dead in their small city. Tony encounters Denvers again, but this time he's just pieces of a corpse barely being held together, most of all his head, which hangs by a single vein or tendon.

As he approaches Tony, he still dons that swiss cheese red coat, this time stained a far dirtier red than before. Tony is disgusted and mortified, but doesn't let it show. He considers this their th fight as he puts his self proclaimed "rival" of sorts to rest. Shadow demons, or just demons, have been possessing corpses and later on, they even possessed the living and had them gauge out their eyes and proceed to eat their own eyeballs as they screamed out Dante's name. This ended up being Grue's grave as he let off a bomb after Gilver had cornered him there while Grue was on a job to take out one kid, which he did, to get a lot of money for medicine for his daughter.

Grue managed to take out all of these fresh zombies, but at the end of the novel, Gilver replaces those numbers by killing every single regular in Bobby's Cellar, including Bobby, and turning them into his zombie army, leaving them with a slight bit of consciousness and will so as to let the second and new Nexus feed off of their misery, as that is what kept the gate to hell open and growing.

The first Nexus was in the basement of the sanatorium which Grue's oldest daughter Jessica was taken to after he died. Finally, once he found her, the only choice left to him was to kill her. He called her a princess one last time and ended her suffering, as well as destroyed that Nexus. Soon after, he used the remainder of his savings to open two bank accounts for Grue's two remaining daughters. But who knows who would take care of them now.

That was never quite touched on again. Throughout the novel, Tony exhibits signs of a demon but is in fact mostly human, whereas Gilver, or Vergil, is mostly demon and posing as a human, covered in a suit and bandages. I did skip over many details in the novel, such as the incident with the Oz Club where the two brothers do indeed fight together, but in Gilver's case this is almost entirely just to study Tony's skills and moves up close, not only that but Gilver ALWAYS chose Tony as his partner for every mercenary gig so as, again, to study how he fights.

What happens to awaken Dante within Tony Redgrave is the death of his surrogate mother, Nell Goldstein. Right after a visit with her where she was especially curt but Tony accepted she'd open up next time, Gilver pops in, gives her a fatal wound to the back, and sets the entire building on fire. Roughly three blocks away, Tony Redgrave sees and hears of the fire and races back to the building, grabbing a hose and rushing inside to save her, where he finds her working away at her work bench, among the flames.

She manages to entrance him to forget all his surroundings and to come closer with her calm and maternal tone. She gives him a gift, having him assemble his new guns, Ebony and Ivory he always broke everything else he bought from her that she'd make especially for him. We actually get in depth detail of the mechanics of these two guns and how they work and compliment each other, as well as the engravings she left on there for him.

As she never knew him as Dante, Tony Redgrave's name was engraved into them, as well as her personal shop's name, original spelling error and all. And there, Ebony and Ivory was born in the same flames that took the life of the mother that made them, and anyone would be certain that her soul rose to heaven, as Dante seemed certain it did as she died in his lap. She kept trying to speak to him about something Suddenly from the entrance door, you see the doorway of an unpleasant mug named Arkham, who invitations Dante to a gathering together with his brother Vergil.

Outside, the truth is, in the course of the town, we see the big Temen-Ni-Gru rising from the bowels of the earth, the dimensional portal of the world of demons, evoked by Arkham and Vergil. Dante then, determined to satisfy together with his brother, who wished to shut the portal. At this juncture you might be conscious of two issues — the primary is that the 2 medallions donated by the mom if united, type the important thing to the world of demons — an important ingredient for Vergil and Arkham who need to break the seal.
