Cute but also kind of boring. Nothing really special in my opinion. Excited to see the evolution of Tohru and Kyo’s relationship though.

No words. Extremely well-crafted, a beautiful and romantic story. Hands down one of the very best books I’ve ever read.

An important, powerful book. Reads like poetry. Excruciatingly well written, but also complex, and I will say, complicated to read at times. It’s just a lot of reflection, and while that’s quite interesting, it’s not really my cup of tea and I found myself glad to be done with it. This doesn’t mean I don’t find this story beautiful, it was very emotional and full of tenderness. The way this author writes about love is absolutely phenomenal. It made me reflect on a lot of stuff. I also feel way more educated after reading this book, especially as a white person. Like I said, an important book.

High stakes fantasy that somehow feels cozy, a lot of books in there and great bonds between the characters. Perfect for a chill holiday season read. The writing is very good too.
