enjoyed for the most part! had a large print copy which made things a lot easier & more pleasurable.
pacing was off for me. i think it was supposed to incite mystery but i just got impatient bc i didn’t feel like much was happening. or sometimes SO MUCH happened in a page. and ALL the bows got wrapped in the end which didn’t leave enough for the imagination for me tbh.
i enjoyed & appreciated the integration of culture
