The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With the Sea by Yukio Mishima

1.75

This ending is so baaaad😭😭

This book is honestly a lil questionable. I’m not sure how I feel about it. The characters didn’t exactly feel connected and the story didn’t follow a particular flow that I can say worked.

I liked the love story and I genuinely felt happy that the two characters felt the way they did but were the unsettling throughs and actions of the kid so scattered? Also, did he have to be a part of a group of kids? It didn’t make much sense especially because the kids didn’t feature a lot. They were there for exactly two (horrible) scenes and that’s it. Existing to make chaos under the pretence that because they are kids it’s all okay.

I- honestly idk. I feel like it could’ve been restructured into a much better story. The writing was good which made the reading process easier but that’s about it :/
