Reviews - Pandatage | The StoryGraph

An excellent palate cleanser after Assistant to the Villain. A quick read, got through it in two days. A little saccharine in places but also some really heartfelt reflections on grief. Seems like it would make a cute movie, and read more like a screenplay at times. Had a kind of zany feel to it. Felt low-stakes, even though some fairly serious issues were being dealt with. The end resolution felt a little pat and unsatisfying, but did fit with the overall lightness of the story. All in all, a nice fluffy read with just enough heart to make it enjoyable.

A kind, hopeful message and heaps upon heaps of delightful absurdity. The author showed unfortunate propensity for would-be funny similes and the MC wasn’t very likeable, but other than that I don’t have any major complaints. It’s a decent relaxing read.
