It’s a cute little book like all of the books in this series. However I felt like the writing was a bit clunky at times, maybe something to do with the translation. I think the first book was full of whimsy, which is lacking a bit in the later instalments. Still a nice, short read if you are up to cry and then will a bit happy at the end of each story.
