this book draaaaaagged. how was something chock full of assassins so damn boring? so many unnecessarily long descriptions and memories and jesus fuck don’t get me started on the fucking thomas & friends. any humor that mustve been present in the Japanese original did not translate 

i wanted the prince to die from page 10 & the little fucker just persisted! so frustrating 

things heated up towards the end but frankly none of it was worth the 300+ page slog to get there. 

i found myself rooting for tangerine & lemon’s survival, but ultimately i just wanted to see the prince die & !spoiler! the book delivered on neither of those things. happy the little kid is okay though
