I really enjoyed this book, I felt connected to the characters and most were described in a lot of depth. I thought it written beautifully but the style also changed where appropriate and it became more harsh. A very good book!

pretty cool and easy read, with a lovely fast moving plot and some loveable characters. it would have been nice to see some female characters with more agency and power

because we only really got one - Shizuka my absolute love

also the romance of the protagonists was a little boring as the love at first sight remained as that... it did not really progress (I am an aro cynic leave me be)
