enjoyable for what it is, not particularly deep or profound, but the way characters are explored is interesting. the ending admittedly isn't particularly satisfying but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

A very unique concept! I really enjoyed it, though I would have liked to discover more about the characters background.

I have to admit this book really disappointed me. I have to come to really enjoy NisiOisiN's books I've read so far, but this one didn't meet expectations. The premise of this book is really intriguing, as it features the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac fighting it out to be the lone victor and have a wish granted. That part is awesome, but the structure of the chapters was not. Once I realized the pattern of how deaths occur, I was kind of bored. When you start a chapter and immediately know who the next death is before reading a single line, the fun of wondering who is next is sucked out of it. This book had potential, but it was squandered in my opinion. I give it a 3.25 out of 5.

Very fast-paced, being predictable was a given but it's still a good fast read to take you out of a slump. I wish we had a bit more time with the characters but the same could be said for any battle royale kind of story.
