I suppose I should write two reviews here: one for folks who love _Ico_ the videogame, and one for folks who have never heard of it. (If you're in between, flip a coin and read both.)
_Ico_ was a 2001 videogame (for the Playstation). I loved it; I still love it. It remains a landmark in atmospheric, engaging videogame storytelling. Notably, it was almost entirely wordless. Everything was conveyed through architecture, lighting, the body language of the protagonists, and -- most important -- the p...more

It is the novelization of a beloved video game, so there is some possibility that my joy in reading it is biased by my fond memories of the engaging mystery and emotion of the game. That being said, I think it would also be a great read for lovers of fantasy who have NOT played the game, even if they do not recognize the places and moments that conjure up game nostalgia for those who HAVE played it. The author takes some artistic liberty filling in gaps in the game world's story, but I am assure...more

I really enjoyed this book. I knew before reading it that it was based on a video game, but I've never played it. I think the story in this book was very successful, but I had some problems with the way it was constructed.
The beginning, for me, was the best part. The writing was wonderful and as Ico's backstory was filled in the character was really coming alive for me.
In the middle, it started to be much less organic. Here you could tell that the book was based on a video game. Every scene se...more

Hands down the best video game novelization, I have ever encountered. Really tempted to give it a five star but I try to reserve that for works that alter my perceptions or strike me in a really profound way.
Having never played the actual game, I can't attest to the similarities or the connections between the two. The novel focuses primarily on a young boy who is sent as a sacrifice to a castle surrounded in mist. There is a great deal of mystery and a plethora of unknowns working behind the cur...more

When Miyuki Miyabe comes to ICO she writes a world she has made her own. As she states in “Preface,” given “free reign with the story and world found in the game” by the producers and creators, she found her “own path through the tale.” She uses and develops elements and characters, but “the order of events, the solutions to puzzles, even the layout of the castle have changed.” The designated status as novelization honors the originators of her inspiration, but make no mistake that Miyabe lends...more

I've never played the video game this is based on, although I had heard of it. I went into this book knowing nothing apart from the blurb on the back. It's an interesting fantasy adventure - although at times, the translation feels a little stilted as if the translator has struggled to find the right word. At times, you can visualise the game characters having to navigate the areas being described in the book, although the author notes that the novel and game do not correspond exactly and the no...more

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!
ICO is a Playstation2 game that's revered for being one of the most beautifully minimalistic games ever made. It's haunting and moving in a way most games aren't. While Alexander O. Smith's translation is technically great, Miyuki's adaptation just doesn't work out so well. Half of this book is backstory to the events of the game, and just doesn't work.
Granted, it needs to be there because it'd be a much shorter book otherwise, but it comes across as plodding.
Sep 24, 2017Rachel rated it it was ok
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.
For anyone who loved the videogame and wanted to spend a little longer in the world.
A thoughtfully written story that explores the events leading up to the game itself and a fantastic exploration of the castle and how it came to be.
Oct 18, 2017Anna Hepworth rated it really liked it
Very pretty story, lush language and detailed set pieces. However, given that it is a novelisation of a computer game, the pacing is just a bit odd.

I thought that this was a very interesting interpretation of the events preceding and surrounding the game. Definitely worth a read for fans and newcomers alike.

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.

This is definitely one of the most special book cases I've encountered so far. In case you didn't recognise this cover, this is a book adaptation of the PlayStation 2 game ICO. I am aware that this is a popular game and there definitely will be some who have actually played it (and loved it). But there also will be some of you who haven't even heard about it. Having said that this book was a must for me as well as for the video games to boo...more

Ico: Castle in the Mist is a novelization based upon the video game from a decade or so back. The story follows the plight of a boy who is born with horns on his head. As a horned child, he is a 'Sacrifice' to the power residing in the Castle in the Mist. All that is really known about the Castle is that some dark god or other entity lives there that must be appeased by sending the boys and girls born with horns on their head to stay there once they reach a certain age.
The story here is about th...more
Ico: Castle in the Mist is an interesting though mostly bland take on the artful PS2 game ICO. If I were to read this book prior to playing the game, I think I would have bumped up my rating from 2 stars to 3. Indeed, as a stand-alone novel, it is a fairly decent read. Miyuki Miyabe does a rather good job at filling in details and questions the reader may be wondering. The problem, however, is that the author completely misses the point of Fumito Ueda's minimalistic story and setting of ICO.

This book was not for me. The first have was incredibly dull. The second half picked up but.. even when it was interesting I was still bored. I think it's probably a great puzzle/exploration game. But as a novel.. not my jam.
While many gamers love to talk about story in videogames, you have to remember that they are often told better in summary format. The gameplay, exploration, puzzle solving, and combat will take up the majority of the time. There's really not that much going on story-wise. This is also how the original Ico was. Many gamers grew to love the game based on the aesthetics, mood, puzzle solving, and the bond that you feel with the Yorda character. The game focused on making you feel connected with a m...more
The world in which this novel is written is grand and intricate compared to the (unforgettable) video game on which it was based. It far accedes the plot of the game, if there really even was one, so much so that it honestly can become unbearably dreary at times.
In this novel we are introduced to many new characters inside and outside of the Castle In The Mist, and even towns not mentioned in the game. This starts out wonderfully with the first (of only four) long chapter(s). We learn of the wor...more

I read this book a fair few years ago, but I've been thinking about it recently.
Ico for the PlayStation 2 is one of my favourite games. Although I've only played it once it has a way of lingering in your memory with it's hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.
One of my favourite things about it and it's spiritual predecessor Shadow of the Colossus is their vagueness. Almost everything in these games are left to the individual players interpretation. Therefore this was a challenging read as it portrayed...more

Any fan of the video game, ICO, should read this book. It provides an excellent reinterpretation of the original, thinly spread plot line, fleshing out the game world nicely. While Ico's, the boy, background is rather a lot like you might imagine after playing the game and reading the manual's story notes, the real surprise here is the well constructed history for the female protagonist, Yorda, which makes up a good third of the book. If you've ever wondered what her past was like--and what play...more
Coming from the perspective of someone who loved Ueda's games, I was very eager to read this and find out what Miyuki Miyabe might've done with the universe and the story.
Right off the bat, there's a few interesting new pieces of content here that were not in the game, and that Miyabe uses to flesh out the story and events of the journey inside the castle. Ico, his village and its customs are given backstories. Yorda, her mother and the castle are given backstories, and a few supporting characte...more

I fell in love with the video game Ico when I first played it many years ago on the PS2. I ordered this novelization as soon as I learned about it, but -- although I devoured the first 100 pages very quickly -- it didn't hold my attention. There's nothing really wrong with it, but it doesn't capture the magic of the game or its world.
Perhaps the biggest mistake made by the author is allowing Ico and Yorda to speak. Their differing languages is key to the subtle beauty of their friendship, and it...more

Early life and education[edit]

Miyabe was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1960.[1] Her mother was a seamstress and her father was an assembly line worker at a factory.[2] She graduated from Sumidagawa High School, then attended a business training school before taking an administrative job at a law office.[3][4]

Career[edit]

Miyabe started writing novels at the age of 23. In 1984, while working at a law office, Miyabe began to take writing classes at a writing school run by the Kodansha publishing company. She made her literary debut in 1987 with 'Warera ga rinjin no hanzai' (我らが隣人の犯罪), which won the 26th All Yomimono Mystery Novel Newcomer Prize.[5] She has since written dozens of novels and won numerous literary prizes.

Miyabe's novel All She Was Worth (火車Kasha), set at the beginning of Japan's lost decade and telling the story of a Tokyo police inspector's search for a missing woman who might be an identity thief trying to get clear of debt, was published by Futabasha in 1992. The next year Kasha won the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize, which is awarded for a new literary work that excels at storytelling in any genre.[6][7]Kasha was adapted into a television movie by TV Asahi in 1994, then again in 2011.[8][9] The Japanese version of the book sold millions of copies.[9] An English translation of Kasha, translated by Alfred Birnbaum, was published by Kodansha International under the title All She Was Worth in 1997.[10] Marilyn Stasio of The New York Times positively noted the relationship between the 'spare style and measured pace' of Birnbaum's translation and the 'somber tone of Miyuki's theme' of individual value in a consumerist economy,[11] while Cameron Barr of The Christian Science Monitor wrote that the book's treatment of privacy and data tracking would leave the impression that 'personal privacy is a rickety antique.'[12]

The Reason (理由Riyū), a multiple perspective murder mystery set in Tokyo's Arakawa ward and written in the form of research interviews conducted in mostly polite language with the suspect, neighbors, and family members of the victims, was published in book form in 1998.[13]Riyū won the 17th Japan Adventure Fiction Association Prize in the Japanese novel category that same year.[14] In 1999 Riyū won the 120th Naoki Prize.[15] Scholar Noriko Chino has described Riyū as 'one of the masterpieces of postwar fictional social criticism.'[16]Riyū was adapted into a Nobuhiko Obayashi movie that was first shown on the Wowow television channel before its 2004 theatrical release.[17]

Miyabe's novel Crossfire (クロスファイアKurosufaia), about a police detective pursuing a girl with pyrokinetic powers, was published in the same year as Riyū. It was adapted into the 2000 Toho film Pyrokinesis, starring Akiko Yada and Masami Nagasawa.[18] An English version of Crossfire, translated by Deborah Stuhr Iwabuchi and Anna Husson Isozaki, was published in 2006, with Kirkus Reviews calling it 'the most conventional of her three novels translated into English'.[19] In 2003 Kadokawa Shoten published Miyabe's fantasy novel Brave Story, a story about a boy with a troubled home life who finds a portal to another world. Brave Story became a bestseller in Japan, and has since been adapted into an anime film, a manga series, and a series of video games.[20] The English version of the novel, translated by Alexander O. Smith, won the Mildred L. Batchelder Award in 2008.[21]

Writing style[edit]

Miyabe has written novels in several different genres, including science fiction, mystery fiction, historical fiction, social commentary, and young adult literature. Outside of Japan she is better known for her crime and fantasy novels.[22] English translations of her work include Crossfire (クロスファイア), published in 1998, and Kasha (火車), translated by Alfred Birnbaum as All She Was Worth, published in 1999. Literary scholar Amanda Seaman called Kasha 'a watershed moment in the history of women's detective fiction' that inspired 'a new wave of women mystery writers.'[23]

A common theme in Miyabe's work is community, particularly the effects of consumerism in Japanese society on family and community relationships.[24]
