4.0

This was a super fun popcorn movie of a thriller about several assassins and other shady types all trying to complete their missions on one crazy train ride. The characters are all larger than life and feel bold and unique. The tension never lets up and every tiny detail that ever comes up is tied up perfectly by the end.

I would have given this 5 stars but there's a minor side character who, while I enjoyed her, was constantly assailed by transmisogynist jokes and that bugged me. I'm hoping that gets fixed in the upcoming film version.

I wanted to like it from the summary. I didn't really click with it, but finished it anyways just to see what the conclusion was. I was pretty happy with it. I think there was more fighting scenes than I cared for, but that's a personal issue rather than a problem with the book. At times the plot does feel contrived. I think I would enjoy this more as a action movie. It was fairly slow paced. The writing was alright, it's well translated. I think my least favorite character is The Prince. Imagine that guy from Death Note but much younger and just as edgy.
