C.E guy had his review and detailed summary up. For those not wanting to be spoiled don't click.
http://cetranslation.blogspot.ca/201...onogatari.html Shame he missed the trigonometry pun between Ononoki and her masters. This guy actually ranked tsuki really high. But I think imo it was one of the weaker books mostly because of the lame jokes and the bath scene with Tsukihi. It would've been weaker if its not part of the final season. Different tastes for sure. |

Anyway, it seems there is a "no kaii narrator" rule, so obviously the narrator couldn't be Ononoki. |

My ratings for the volumes in the series so far:
-Nekomonogatari Black Very intense and deep. It just drags a bit in the beginning. -Kizumonogatari Very deep, and also the one with the most action. -Onimonogatari Funny yet with a bittersweet ending, plus you can't go wrong with Araragi shenanigans. -Otorimonogatari This book is interesting for the psychology of Nadeko, and it also has a good plot twist. Bonus points for the memorable preview at the end of the book. -Nekomonogatari White This book is interesting for the psychology of Tsubasa. It also seems to have a good connection with unspecified events, which should lead to some cool moments in the future. -Nisemonogatari 2 Crazy. It drags a lot, but it is also deep in its own way. -Koimonogatari A solid book, full of bittersweet atmosphere. -Nisemonogatari 1 I like how it featured all the main cast, something that was never replicated. Also Kaiki was one villain charismatic in not being charismatic. -Bakemonogatari 2 -Bakemonogatari 1 The anime is magic, but in the books these are just introductive volumes, so they rank pretty low. -Tsukimonogatari Built around a simple idea, but raise some interesting points. Ononoki makes the book, but unfortunately there is not much else. -Hanamonogatari The story is solid and it has its deep parts, it's just that Kanbaru is unexpectedly too gloomy as a narrator. As an anime it should work fine though. -Kabukimonogatari Built around a simple idea, but it drags. I fear that it will be seriously condensed in the anime. |

So...as an anime only watcher, I was wondering if any LN reader could check if I'm wrong or right on the following:
I really don't mind being spoiled at all (I know more or less the skeleton of each volume up until Hitagi End, just not any details). Thank you in advanced. |

It needs to be said that Hitagi appears to be kinky in the sac, and she is hinted to be bisexual. She also admitted being a fathercon.

Sengoku admitted her love for Araragi was just a crush, and she was probably just imitating Tsukihi's affection for her older brother. Even though she decided to kill Araragi, she became annoyed at fighting him when he tried to visit her everyday, and sometimes she even pretended to be away. Quote:

Basically, all girls in one way or the other love Araragi. The only ones he ever considered seriously were Hanekawa and Senjougahara though. The ones most important for his life have been Kissshot who gave him the will to live, Hanekawa who taught him how to love, and Senjougahara who inspired him to think of his future. |

Shame about Hanekawa though, I do like her more than Hitagi xD (then again I was never into tsundere and abusive types). I'm actually most surprised with Koyomi's daydream about Karen, was not aware of that one. Thanks for the info. BTW I heard Oni's supposed to be the last story (not last book) with the following being set before Oni, is this true? Cause if it is and after reading Oni's spoilers...there's still some foreshadowing and I kinda figured the ending would involve Koyomi, Hitagi and Shinobu more... |

Then again, perhaps he was just joking with Kanbaru. Quote:

Did they maybe mean that Oni was the end of Koyomi's story? |

Actually I made a mistake, it was Koi that I heard was supposed to be the last book in the series...then again Koi is also at most Sengoku's last story...so I dunno, maybe the info was wrong altogether.
