A review by woogafolgawomp

emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

very serviceable plot, but the writing is often very stiff and utilitarian. the majorit of this books many metaphors feel purposeless (although this could be the fault of the translation i was reading). occasionally, however, mishima writes with vast, awe-inspiring beauty, but i found these moments to be few and far between.
