this book draaaaaagged. how was something chock full of assassins so damn boring? so many unnecessarily long descriptions and memories and jesus fuck don’t get me started on the fucking thomas & friends. any humor that mustve been present in the Japanese original did not translate 

i wanted the prince to die from page 10 & the little fucker just persisted! so frustrating 

things heated up towards the end but frankly none of it was worth the 300+ page slog to get there. 

i found myself rooting for tangerine & lemon’s survival, but ultimately i just wanted to see the prince die & !spoiler! the book delivered on neither of those things. happy the little kid is okay though

of course, i was a fan of the movie adaptation and found it to be a fun and enjoyable ride that i wasn't expecting. i found out it was based off of a book, and though i don't normally read books that were adapted into movies/shows if i've seen the movie/show first, i read the reviews and decided to give it a go. i found the book to be interesting and fun, but not quite as much as the movie and i overall liked how the story unfolded in the movie better. tangerine and lemon were just as much of the show-stealers in the book as they were in the movie and i enjoyed reading their sections as well as obviously nanao/ladybug's sections. i wished that there had been more going on in the book that maybe wasn't shown in the movie but i honestly felt like the movie was more fleshed out than the book, which i feel should be the opposite. there was also some weird parts towards the beginning regarding a character in drag or who may have been trans that didn't sit right with me and i wish had been left out.

one of the main characters is clearly a psychopath/sociopath and several of the chapters are written in their perspective. i found some of the content to be a lot, particularly if you have dealt with narcissm/abuse in some capacity.
