I loved the meandering nature of this book. Reading it felt like wandering throughout a dream, drifting in and out of consciousness. The writing was beautiful and the story was touching.

I'm so up in my feelings about this book, it's the best novella I've ever read. Just the perfect length, the way the chapters start with an item or items that led to a story of the past from Rabbit. Rabbit, Chih, and Almost Brilliant are all such amazing characters, I'm fascinated by In-Yo and her interest in fortunetellers, and Rabbit and In-Yo's relationship is so endearing.

It's so good! I hope to be able to return to it. Started listening while traveling, and then got distracted by other things. Not the fault of this book!

I'm definitely interested in reading more of this quiet little series and seeing where Chih ends up traveling next, and what stories they encounter. I feel like there is a lot of room for them to grow as a protagonist and I'm curious to see their journey. The prose in this book fits the narrative so well! It's to the point and precise, but very elegant at the same time, and I think that one of the strongest aspects. On the whole, the worldbuilding is a little disjointed; I felt very disoriented for awhile, and considering the fact that this is such a short book that made for a bit of an off-kilter experience.
