This is the third book of this series and I have read it in relatively quick succession. The second book made me realise I wanted to read the whole series, which is rare for me. However this book has made me question if I want to read the fourth. The plot is getting a little repetitive, and I preferred when the chapters were more ranged.

I feel an unrealistic amount of characters visited those who have died or die in the near future

. Again, this book is written beautifully and the concept is fascinating. Once again I found myself in tears at various points. I think I will take a break before reading the next, but I suspect I still will afterall.

The series continues to be cute and to charm me with the subtlety of Japanese culture. Not sure anyone who hasn’t lived there would recognize the little things that make up the heart of the culture. I miss Japan. This series helps bridge that gap. Only one left!
