Coffin — 3.5 stars. The creepiest story in this collection

Lemon — 3 stars. Finally! Another glimpse of Sadako’s past! BUT it’s not even in her pov 🙄

Birthday — a quarter star. The worst. Basically an epilogue to Loop. I couldn’t care less about kaoru and reiko. Blah. Melodramatic drivel

Not his best but still solid. This book of short stories should not be read without first reading the other books in the Ring series.

This was much better than the 3rd book imho. Not that the plot wasn’t as good, but the writing was better. I’m not sure whether it was in the original Japanese or if the translation is weak, but there are some truly awkward sections in this series.
