And done.
Two notables. There's a preponderance of knife fights in this series. So much stabbing. I'm pretty sure it's all overhand grip, like double daggers in Bak Sil Lum. It takes like 400 stabs to kill someone, so these are very bloody fights.
Also there's been a changing of the guards. No longer does an eatery signal an impending fight. Nope. Now it's a long hallway. If someone starts down a long hallway, you can bet it won't easy reaching the other end. The Raid has been very influential.
All in all, a good series. Maybe a bit dragged out, which is true of most series I've seen. But this had great characters and complex relationships to carry it through the slow parts. It also had lots of twists and was very hard to predict where it would go next.
