I did not care about the characters, I felt their only function was to have stilted conversatitions explaining the world. I got bored.

I loved this book!!!
Nothing about this was predictable, I wasn't able to put it down! I would have preferred a little bit of context/explanation in the beginning.

IA FANS- this book was recommended from their website.
What do your favorite authors read?
Amazing books, because they don't mess around.

This is such a moving, intimate story, I loved it. So creative, honest, beautiful, meaningful- I am excited to see where this series goes. I am not normally drawn to anything Asian (My Step-dad is Japanese and was a very disturbed individual) except the FOOD, but this book was recommended by IA, so of course I had to try. They did warn that it was very intimate, but not sexual, and I found myself responding to the bond of the 2 MC's.
The world building was spectacular, plot believable, the honesty was refreshing and meaningful. There was humor and action, all of which built this wonderful story.

RE-READ Oct 2020- still really love this story and you get to see Kyrie growing up by book 4- so good!
