Nine Moons in a River of Stars: Phase Three by Xen

5.0

 ❝ People still laughed and drank coffee and clocked in for work and walked their dogs and kissed and fought and smiled and sighed and hoped and wanted and cried, even while your world shattered and fell apart, and everything moved on for everyone except you. ❞

there are a lot of characters in this world, in this bubble of a town. and this was the first episode where I enjoyed visiting every single one of them without being confused and having to check the character list at the beginning of the book. i'm always moved by Cole McCade's writing. and this was no exception. I still don't know where this story is going, it's all vibes, and weirdness and slice of life and very human characters. I like it a lot, there is nothing like it.

❝ Now just what makes you think you have to do something to be worth wanting around? ❞
