learning Sadako’s backstory was definitely interesting. i’m glad we got some insight to her as a character which i felt was lacking in the previous books, especially book 1 & 2. even though the series itself is alright, i do really like the supernatural idea of Sadako cursing a video tape- she is a pretty neat villain. idk about the science route the series decides to take…it was a choice. also, i found being in Mai & Reiko’s POV fine- a women’s POV for once! when i tell you i was tired of these men like….
