A review by elusorius
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata

3.0

Phenominal writing. I will surely read more of Sayaka Murata's books because her writing style is beautiful.

However, out of the 12 stories in this bundle; I only really connected with three of them. Now, the ones I connected with were great. They made me question the essence of normality and plunged me into an existential crisis. But in a good way, you know? Murata's writing is bizarre, and shocking. When you connect with a story, it will blow your mind.

But when you don't connect with a story, it's quite bland. The writing is stunning but the content is forgettable. Like a beautifully decorated empty box.

3/5
