Summary

BACK TO THE FUTURE IN ANOTHER ADVENTURE FOR THE SOS BRIGADE!

It’s a new year, and Haruhi Suzumiya, the powerful (and pushy) leader of the SOS Brigade is actually…content。 For once, she’s not seeking out time-traveling exploits, murder mysteries, or any other wild adventures that could lead to the destruction of the entire world。 Surprisingly, it’s Kyon, the most normal member of the SOS Brigade, who wants to shake things up。 When Kyon discovers that something’s not right with the universe, it’s up to him, his pal (and secret crush) Mikuru, and the beautiful but stoic Nagato to head back to the past in order to save the future。 Join the frenzy and fun with this seventh book in the phenomenal bestselling series that took the world by storm。

My favourite Haruhi Suzumiya novel so far。 It actually felt like there was character development, the plot was moving forward, and some questions were being answered!

This volume is somewhat okay。 Although there are times that it truly becomes monotonous but I guess that was part of Kyon's life, an ordinary human, would be。 In addition, I'm truly interested as to the further character development and perception of the SOS members considering that that there personalities are gradually changing whether it may be for the better or for worse。 There's a little hormonal imbalance of Kyon in this volume which is a great thing, my goodness。 That thing was lessened。 This volume is somewhat okay。 Although there are times that it truly becomes monotonous but I guess that was part of Kyon's life, an ordinary human, would be。 In addition, I'm truly interested as to the further character development and perception of the SOS members considering that that there personalities are gradually changing whether it may be for the better or for worse。 There's a little hormonal imbalance of Kyon in this volume which is a great thing, my goodness。 That thing was lessened。 Considering that this volume involved Kyon's little defiance of what may happen in the future (that already another character portrayal), I would also like to see the part of Nagato as well。 What could happen if she happen to say no and not act as a scapegoat of Kyon whenever something happens。 What a damsel in distress— the protagonist I mean。So far this has been a great journey。 Looking forward to the next。 。。。more

Not bad, it's kind of interesting, but not better than "disapparence"as a long story。 Not bad, it's kind of interesting, but not better than "disapparence"as a long story。 。。。more

Kyon ties up the loose ends from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya。 Then, Mikuru unexpectedly arrives from eight days in the future, and Kyon must complete several mysterious tasks with her while keeping her presence a secret。 Along the way, they meet a time traveler from a rival faction who is aiding a group opposing Koizumi's Agency。 Kyon ties up the loose ends from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya。 Then, Mikuru unexpectedly arrives from eight days in the future, and Kyon must complete several mysterious tasks with her while keeping her presence a secret。 Along the way, they meet a time traveler from a rival faction who is aiding a group opposing Koizumi's Agency。 。。。more

When I was halfway through this volume, I was like this volume is ok but last 80-90 pages were so exciting that it was worth it。Looking forward to read next volumes。

I finally made it! I finally made it to the first big story post-anime adaptation。 It was。。。fine! The main plot, once we finally get through it, ends up being kind of just table-setting for future conflict。 It's fun to see the world expanding in ways not covered in the show, and even better is watching the trope-y characters growing and getting a bit more complex。 But the actual events of the story feel very inconsequential to the immediate concerns of the characters and reader, besides being a I finally made it!

RATING: 2 starsI felt like it dragged and, although I know Kyon is the hero of the story, I missed Haruhi。This book had a lot of pacing issues and some things were just past absurd even in Haruhi universe。

Anita

Actual Rating: 3。5 StarsThere was a lot going on in this book。。。 as is typical of an Haruhi Suzumiya book, but this time it felt like a lot of chaos that somehow managed to tie together in the end。 Well played, Tanigawa-san, well played。Full review to come。

DNFed because no mood but the story is interesting。 Will get back at it later😉

Kyon gets drawn into a complex time travel story, and we learn about more factions opposing the SOS Brigade members。 Another fast and fun read and bonus chocolates。

Intrigues, like Disappearance, is one of the few complete novels in the Haruhi series。 Unlike Disappearance, however, this book serves as a middling entry in the series。 Mikuru is one of the biggest mysteries in the series, and this book's focus on her does mold Mikuru into a much more relatable character。 That's where the book's strengths end, unfortunately。 Intrigues is devoid of much of the humor that the earlier entries have。 The book-long quest loses its charm quickly and by the end I could Intrigues, like Disappearance, is one of the few complete novels in the Haruhi series。 Unlike Disappearance, however, this book serves as a middling entry in the series。 Mikuru is one of the biggest mysteries in the series, and this book's focus on her does mold Mikuru into a much more relatable character。 That's where the book's strengths end, unfortunately。 Intrigues is devoid of much of the humor that the earlier entries have。 The book-long quest loses its charm quickly and by the end I couldn't help but feel that four or five different short stories would have resulted in a better book。 It teased a few interesting ideas--the appearance of rival time-traveling factions--but there was so little that it left me feeling disappointed。 What's more, the big climactic scene was an absolute joke。 This is an uneven novel and it's no wonder the anime adaptation stopped just short of adapting this book。 。。。more

He tenido que leer Suzumiya Haruhi para evitar entrar en un bloqueo lector。 Necesitaba algo rápido y fácil de lee con la garantía de que me fuera a gustar。 Personalmente prefiero las novelas de la serie que están divididas en relatos cortos antes que las novelas largas como ésta, aunque se profundiza mucho en la personalidad de los miembros del club。 En este volumen se ha dejado ver el lado más oscuro de los personajes y las complicaciones de las distintas facciones implicadas。 Todos los persona He tenido que leer Suzumiya Haruhi para evitar entrar en un bloqueo lector。 Necesitaba algo rápido y fácil de lee con la garantía de que me fuera a gustar。 Personalmente prefiero las novelas de la serie que están divididas en relatos cortos antes que las novelas largas como ésta, aunque se profundiza mucho en la personalidad de los miembros del club。 En este volumen se ha dejado ver el lado más oscuro de los personajes y las complicaciones de las distintas facciones implicadas。 Todos los personajes han evolucionado mucho desde la primera novela y son muy distintos。 Creo que el autor lo ha sabido hacer muy bien pero el tono es más serio que en otras entregas y he echado de menos el sentido del humor de otras。 Pero ese aspecto mas realista también me ha gustado, lo único es que he tardado en acostumbrarme。 Quizá empiece el siguiente tomo ahora mismo。。。。 。。。more

A big improvement over The Wavering which essentially just recaped certain events from different angles。 Up until this point in the story Kyon's been more of a passive observer but this time he's an active participant。 When Asahina travels into the past from 8 days in the future, Kyon takes action to solve the mystery and complete a series of seemingly nonsensical task in order to preserve the future。 The story was a lot of fun to experience and recaptured the energy of some of the earlier stori A big improvement over The Wavering which essentially just recaped certain events from different angles。 Up until this point in the story Kyon's been more of a passive observer but this time he's an active participant。 When Asahina travels into the past from 8 days in the future, Kyon takes action to solve the mystery and complete a series of seemingly nonsensical task in order to preserve the future。 The story was a lot of fun to experience and recaptured the energy of some of the earlier stories。 。。。more

Otra novela de Haruhi que pese a ser demasiado larga se gana una estrellita extra por lo divertido de la trama y el delirante planteo de misiones y viajes en el tiempo que se va planteando a cada capítulo (y resolviendo parcialmente al final)。

Easily the weakest volume in the series so far。 I’m beginning to feel that the issue of time-travel has been well explored by these books at this point and I let out an inward groan when I realised that was the basis for this novel。 Nevertheless, in Haruhi style, the ideas are presented with wit and fun, and older Mikuru Asahina sending Kyon a bunch of weird tasks to carry out, whilst having to hide a Mikuru who has come back from 8 days in the future is not without amusement。 But the payoff was Easily the weakest volume in the series so far。 I’m beginning to feel that the issue of time-travel has been well explored by these books at this point and I let out an inward groan when I realised that was the basis for this novel。 Nevertheless, in Haruhi style, the ideas are presented with wit and fun, and older Mikuru Asahina sending Kyon a bunch of weird tasks to carry out, whilst having to hide a Mikuru who has come back from 8 days in the future is not without amusement。 But the payoff wasn’t there and this book failed to justify itself and the potentially intriguing strands it took a lot of pages to setup were explained away far too trivially。I do, however, like that Tanagawa will throw little characterisations out there which make more sense if you look and think about them – quite challenging for what is essentially children’s literature。 For instance *spoilers* Haruhi starts out the novel (in the background) being depressed and Kyon doesn’t really know why。 He mentions this a few times but then drops it as her usual self comes back and the reader forgets it too。 The ultimate payoff to the Haruhi subplot is that she’s planning a Valentine’s Day trick, a way to give Kyon chocolates without making it look like it comes specifically from her。 She also insists that Asahina writes on her chcocolates “from a friend” (She writes on another message “Haruhi made me write that”)。 These seem to me to be little unexplained clues that Haruhi does in fact have a crush on Kyon。 I like that throughout the novels this is never explicitly stated, but what Haruhi seems to really want through the SOS club at this point is to devise ways to get Kyon to do things with her … more than she wants to find espers and time-travellers etc。 。。。more

I have deeply enjoyed each volume of Nagaru Tanigawa’s history of the SOS Brigade’s exploits, and The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya (the 7th volume) is no exception。 The combination of wild hijinks and subtle character development is quite appealing, and the variety presented by the author’s use of both novels and short stories is also quite nice。 The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya is the longest novel in the set so far。 The story is quite well written, focusing mostly on Kyon and Asahina this time I have deeply enjoyed each volume of Nagaru Tanigawa’s history of the SOS Brigade’s exploits, and The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya (the 7th volume) is no exception。 The combination of wild hijinks and subtle character development is quite appealing, and the variety presented by the author’s use of both novels and short stories is also quite nice。 The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya is the longest novel in the set so far。 The story is quite well written, focusing mostly on Kyon and Asahina this time (with a dash of everyone else to for variety)。 The character development in this story is extremely well written–some of the best that I’ve read。 I particularly enjoy the way in which Kyon still puts up a front of disapproval about all the crazy supernatural things going on around him, yet that you can totally tell that he would fight to keep it–very different from his initial attitude about the SOS Brigade。 (I have to wonder if this is currently his tsundere side coming out, or is that just my imagination?) In any case, this is a really fun story, which you should check out。 。。。more

La serie de Haruhi Suzumiya debería ser más famosa de lo que es。 Quiero decir, su fama debería extenderse fuera del mundillo otaku。 Sinceramente, creo que, a pesar de su mercado niché y de ciertas idiosincracias propias de la cultura nipona, podría rivalizar fácilmente con sagas como Harry Potter y otras dirigidas al público juvenil。 Su atractivo radica en dos aspectos: su protagonista narrador es un chico de secundaria, altamente sarcástico; y el incorporar conceptos de ciencia ficción hard en La serie de Haruhi Suzumiya debería ser más famosa de lo que es。 Quiero decir, su fama debería extenderse fuera del mundillo otaku。 Sinceramente, creo que, a pesar de su mercado niché y de ciertas idiosincracias propias de la cultura nipona, podría rivalizar fácilmente con sagas como Harry Potter y otras dirigidas al público juvenil。 Su atractivo radica en dos aspectos: su protagonista narrador es un chico de secundaria, altamente sarcástico; y el incorporar conceptos de ciencia ficción hard en ese ámbito de drama/comedia estudiantil。 Tienes viajeros en el tiempo con sus respectivas paradojas temporales; inteligencias artificiales capaces de alterar la realidad enviadas por inteligencias artificiales masivas extraterrestres; individuos con poderes paranormales que se manifiestan en dimensiones de bolsillo y forman parte de misteriosas organizaciones con ignotos propósitos。 Y en el medio de todo una colegiala que no sabe nada de esto, pero que es el motivo de todo。 Y Kyon, nuestro narrador, el único normal en todo este mejunje。 Kyon se come a protas como Potter o Katniss con papas y gaseosa grandes。 。。。more

A personal note: I bought this back in 2012 and life happened, so I wasn't able to read it until now。 The Haruhi Suzumiya series is brilliant; so much so that I while I feel the two years it's been since reading this series, the characters read like they had gone through the same amount of time between the sixth book and now。 Tons of introspection, inner-monologues, discussion on choosing one's friends over one's duty, and the entire first section is the resolution to the time-travel arc set up A personal note: I bought this back in 2012 and life happened, so I wasn't able to read it until now。 The Haruhi Suzumiya series is brilliant; so much so that I while I feel the two years it's been since reading this series, the characters read like they had gone through the same amount of time between the sixth book and now。 Tons of introspection, inner-monologues, discussion on choosing one's friends over one's duty, and the entire first section is the resolution to the time-travel arc set up in Disappearance。。。it's all amazing。 SO satisfying。 A bunch of people have come in and out of my life in a short period of time。 I'm glad to have the SOS Brigade back, even if it's just for three more books。 =) 。。。more

This was a weird one。 Up until now the quality of Haruhi novels have been spectacular with occasional intermissions of total bollocks, but this falls somewhere in between。 The premise is sort-of interesting。 The aspect of mystery is extremely pervasive in this volume, you have no idea what is going on for most of it, and it takes a very, very long time for it to get to any satisfying conclusions。 Everything feels sort of up in the air, I stopped reading this for a long time because it felt like This was a weird one。 Up until now the quality of Haruhi novels have been spectacular with occasional intermissions of total bollocks, but this falls somewhere in between。 The premise is sort-of interesting。 The aspect of mystery is extremely pervasive in this volume, you have no idea what is going on for most of it, and it takes a very, very long time for it to get to any satisfying conclusions。 Everything feels sort of up in the air, I stopped reading this for a long time because it felt like every page was just another roundabout narrative with no real story advancement。 It's obvious that for this novel Tanigawa thought of a great idea and then worked backwards, the result being that we have to follow this long and tedious line to get to where we're meant to be。 When I finally got there, I enjoyed myself, it wasn't Haruhi at it's best, but it was very interesting as a long term fan because the world starts to open up。Just endure it。 。。。more

Sus dudas pronto quedan resueltas cuando empieza a recibir sobres cada mañana en su taquilla con indicaciones de qué deben hacer ambos aunque nada parece tener ninguna clase de sentido。 Kyon se pasa toda la novela bailando al son de la Asahina adulta en la que se convierte la semana más intensa de su vida。 Realmente no te da tiempo a aburrirte o cansarte porque no paran de pasar cosas y la intriga por saber para qué servirá todo lo que están haciendo es demasiado grande。 Y, para variar, la explicación que dan al final de la novela es más o menos convincente y factible y no te deja con demasiadas preguntas sin resolver。Lo interesante de las últimas novelas es que cada vez es más obvio y evidente que Haruhi se está “normalizando”, como antesala para el final。 De hecho, todas sus acciones más allá de las posibilidades humanas se limitan a las tres primeras novelas。 A partir de otoño esta cada vez más sensata y tranquila y las que llevan la voz cantante ahora y le complican la vida a Kyon son Nagato y Mikuru。 Pero lo más impactante de esta novela es que aparecen personajes nuevos de nuevas entidades que son enemigas para las que ya conocemos y de las cuales desconocemos el propósito。 Son terriblemente interesantes todos esos diálogos con verdades a medias y comentarios insidiosos que dejan entrever que todo va a ir a más en las próximas novelas。 En esta ocasión tenemos una novela con mucha más acción y resoluciones que los anteriores, donde podemos observar que la historia avanza, y ya no se trata de sólo situaciones cómicas。 Una rápida y entretenida lectura, de una serie de novelas apuntadas al público adolescente y al fandom de anime。 。。。more

Finally a full length book after the previous two, which were mostly short stories。 I can't say that I was fully taken in by the plot。The time traveling was quite haphazardly done。 The plot has some underpinnings that resembled the Terminator series, both of which is about preserving the future by ensuring key events leading up to that future takes place。 The story tries to be serious sometimes, and dabbles a little into the consequences of messing with cause and effect, and challenges the idea Finally a full length book after the previous two, which were mostly short stories。 I can't say that I was fully taken in by the plot。The time traveling was quite haphazardly done。 The plot has some underpinnings that resembled the Terminator series, both of which is about preserving the future by ensuring key events leading up to that future takes place。 The story tries to be serious sometimes, and dabbles a little into the consequences of messing with cause and effect, and challenges the idea of a predetermined fate, among other metaphysical questions。 However, this often gets abandoned fairly quickly almost as soon as it begins, which was disappointing。Perhaps the best part of the book is the Nagato's character development。 We see her inner struggle between being (relatively) omnipotent, and explicitly choosing not to know。 By choosing the the latter, she's able to live in the current moment, and gains some emotional response to events。 。。。more

Pues al final ha sido un libro bastante entretenido。 Ha manejado bastante bien las paradojas temporales, prestando atención a algún detalle que ya pensaba que se podría pasar。 Quizá la historia no de para las casi 400 páginas, pero se lee del tirón y ha dado más info de los enemigos y sobre algunos personajes como Mikuru o Tsuruya。

This book breaks the trend of the past few books by being both a complete novel rather than a collection of short stories, and actually having some character and plot growth。 The story itself is somewhat underwhelming though。Kyon is hanging out in the S。O。S brigade room when he hears a noise in the broom closet。 He looks inside, and Mikuru is there。 There are now two Mikurus, one from eight days in the future。 Kyon finds himself having to fill a very specific role by doing these arbitrary tasks, This book breaks the trend of the past few books by being both a complete novel rather than a collection of short stories, and actually having some character and plot growth。 The story itself is somewhat underwhelming though。Kyon is hanging out in the S。O。S brigade room when he hears a noise in the broom closet。 He looks inside, and Mikuru is there。 There are now two Mikurus, one from eight days in the future。 Kyon finds himself having to fill a very specific role by doing these arbitrary tasks, while hiding her existence from everyone else。The end payoff isn't all that good, as this volume sets up a lot of future conflict。 Haruhi actually fades into the background some, and it's more about Mikuru, both as a character and her background。 It's still pretty sparse though, and all the errands may resolve in the end, but don't really give you a sense of punch。At least it's a full novel though, and the plot events set up interesting points for the future。 The characters finally seem to be growing some too, and showing personality changes。 koizumi is a bit less inscrutable, as is Yuki, and Kyon is more than hate Haruhi/ love Mikuru。 Hopefully future novels will build on this。 。。。more
