A review by steelfern
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

the prose and setting of this book were beautiful throughout- i love books about long journeys, and sleeping in the wild. the arthurian myths mixed into it were fun. despite this, i did not feel particularly emotionally driven by this book, and so some of the harder hitting moments didn't feel very hard hitting.

the ending of the book did make me squawk, though- THAT'S gonna be the ending???
