This was incredible. Surprisingly the second book to give me strong Spirited Away vibes this year, at least at the beginning, this story of sky ships and ancient, furious paper animals had me racing through the pages to find out just what Haru and Kurara was, and why Kurara remembers nothing of her past.
This story has it all for me. Talking paper animals, a girl rising from the lowest ranks of society training to weld paper weapons, complicated girls who definitely need to date already, a complex boy who on the cusp of choosing a path as a hero or a villain, scheming dads, I loved every moment of the story.
This does end on a cliffhanger, not giving us the answers to our questions just yet. The ending was so fun though, yet heartbreaking, devastating and poignant all at once. I cannot wait to read the sequel, hopefully next year.
