 TB ROM I. STAR OF SORROW August 26, 2007
TB ROM I.- Star of Sorrow -- is the story of the resistance movement against the rule Gyula Kadar, Marquis of Hungary (Anime episodes 3-4) The anime did a marvelous job of condensing this story into two episodes. The original novel is a darker, more complicated story.
After dealing with a pair of troublesome vampires in a small town, Father Abel Nightroad proceeds to Istavan, where he runs into Sister Esther Blanchett, who is dressed as a boy.
Esther is the leader of the resistance movement.
Dietrich is one of her aides. He is nicknamed the Puppetmaster. How he got this nickname and how his power works is revealed in this book.
The end of the novel follows the manga and anime, the end still contains several surprises.
In the long run, this book is well worth reading. The anime version is just the bare bones version.
 Watched Anime, following up with Books... April 2, 2008
I originally watched (and then purchased) the anime version of "Trinity Blood". I loved the artwork and the story was engrossing enough that when I got to the end of the animated version, I decided to read the "source" material to finish out the story. The books so far are basically 1 chapter = 1 anime episode. However, the books go into much more technical detail about what was visualized in the anime. In the anime what is shown as "special effects" is really described in the novels, so reading them also brings new meaning to the anime as well. Overall, the stories told were very faithfully reproducted in the anime, and so there isn't much "new" material revealed here, everything is just more nuanced.
