When a boy named Ico grows long curved horns overnight, his fate has been sealed-he is to be sacrificed in the Castle in the Mist. But in the castle, Ico meets a young girl named Yorda imprisoned in its halls. Alone they will die, but together Ico and Yorda might just be able to defy their destinies and escape the magic of the castle.Based on the video game filmmaker Guillemo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) called a "masterpiece", Japan's leading fantasist Miyuki Miyabe has crafted a tale of magic, loss, and love that will never be forgotten.

This book was so much like a videogame! And that was due to both its ample sequential action (running, jumping, tripping, climbing) and its absence of dialogue between the two protagonists. A very interesting and moving story, that I wish had delved deeper into its core mystery, probably by spanning across more than one adventure. If you like studio Ghibli films, you will definitely like this book!This book is odd.It's not the video game plus+ dialogue and character development minus- parts that are fun to play but would be boring to read. It's a retelling of the story. The first chapter is Ico's back-story, which is fine but drags on a bit too long. In the second chapter it starts getting really strange because the author starts going through the story almost exactly the way the game happens. I could actually imagine her playing the game with her laptop by her side, writing as she
It follows the game well in chapters 1 and 3, but chapter 2 threw me off a bit. It's nice to have some backstory that the game doesn't show. It's kinda weird to have the backstory of the castle in the middle of the book which throws off the pacing for me at least.

The story starts out fairly interesting, filling in Ico's backstory and taking him through the castle. Eventually it switches to Yorda to cover a lot of the same castle wandering material, with flashbacks to her backstory. And it drags. And drags. Finally I realized I didn't really care to finish this story.
Ugh, deleting this one is really the hardest, because mine was the *first* review for this book on GoodReads.Oh well. What must be done will be done.Read the review on my blog:http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/9...
イコ - 霧の城a story of an unknown place,.. told in an unknown age. I haven't played the game, but I still loved this beautiful book, gorgeous descriptions and characterizations ~<3
I went in this book completely blind. It was interesting but I could feel how it was a game after some point. The story was quite engaging and I would have loved to learn more of this unverse. This is something I reproach to this book, to not dig deeper. It stays on the surface, close to what as I learned later is the story line of the game but it would have deserved more, so much more.
