So I've gone through all six stories of your Basilisk series, I'm just commenting on this one because it was the last one I read.

I will say that the feedback I have for you here is very similar to the one I left on The Melon Head Illustration. That is, you have a wonderful knack (which I envy) for describing characters, which makes sense because you have a series of comic books under your belt and character illustration is a big factor in that.

Unfortunately, I did, again, find the overall plot of the series lacking a little bit of depth. For example, when Daniel was awoken in the mysterious room and then converses with Estes and Kim, I feel that not enough detail goes into what exactly happened to Daniel. I mean, sure we know why he's there and what had happened to him, but maybe if we knew the extent of the damage of the experiments on him and maybe see that his initial distrust begins to dissolve as the story goes on (which we do see to an extent in The Binding Mask), we could get a better insight into the story as a whole.

My favourite story in the series by quite a bit is Kumiho. Very good writing that presents an interesting background that alters your perspective on him. I love the story of it too. He hallucinates an old Korean legend while coming clean from his addiction and/or under the influence of an experimental drug. Amazing.

Anyway, despite my criticisms of the plot's depth, I have to say, it is quite a fun series to read. The characters and their powers are really neat, and it has laid the groundwork well for further stories, which I would really like to see. Well done.
