well that's another sequel we didn't need

The second half picks The book up and makes it more enjoyable, but it still felt repetitive.

The writing style felt as if the author didn't know if this was a childrens book, middle grade, YA or adult fiction. this led to passages that at the start felt very deep and emotional having a very underwhelming ending.

I have not read the first book, but I loved this one. Bringing characters to life and a wonderful study of human nature, where people lose sight of important things like compassion and empathy, just to focus on greed and such. I did enjoy this one a lot.

I liked this more than the first book as the story flowed better and felt less fragmented. It celebrates libraries and the freedom to read what you want, which I loved, and Nanami’s journey from feeling fragile to finding her own strength was sweet. That said, the book was simple, a bit shallow, and the pacing uneven. Even the title is misleading since the cat barely does anything. A nice idea, but better suited to younger readers.
