bibliophileroses 's review for:
Jujutsu Kaisen: Summer of Ashes Autumn of Dust Novel
by Ballad Kitaguni, Gege Akutami
*This ARC was provided by NetGalley in return for an honest review*
Oi, oi, oi. Where do I start? Okay, let's start here.
The short stories are great. A little too cheesy at times, but honestly enjoyable overall. It felt like the characters actual actions, and related well to the storyline. I also loved the modern references like YouTube and audiophile (yay for complex words becoming mainstream!).
That being said, I knocked off one star for two reasons. The first being repetitiveness can get a bit tiring. Some of the characters repeat statements and it gives the readers a mix of boring and annoyed that I wish there was a proper word for. ~ Secondly, I think it's important for me to highlight that this is a light novel and not a manga. While I knew that walking in, I'm sure there will be plenty of fans who discover this after the fact, so having something that helps to express it's a light novel may be helpful to fans.
Overall, I enjoyed it heavily, and I hope others do too!
