First, thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
When I saw the cover and that it was a retelling of Carmilla, I immediately wanted to read it, but I had a hard time finishing it. But if I am being honest, I think it’s because you have to read this book without taking too many breaks between each reading session. This is a short, but slow book, with sometimes an uneven pacing, and reading it while being on another hyperfixation, and having too many things to do in uni, maybe not the best idea.

This is a good book; the use of hunger for women’s rage and wants is a great idea, like the setting. I wish we had more vampires (you know, Carmilla and all), and I still don’t know what to think of the main character. I mean, sure, she’s a woman 19th century, but she was kind of miserable, and not necessarily in a good way (there’s a good way for stories with miserable characters, like Harrowhark).
So yes, I finished it a while ago, and I still don’t totally know what to think about it. At least, Carmilla is hot.

Oh gosh, this was so cute. I had trouble reading lately because uni is taking all my time. But when I saw a picture book about travel and with cats, I had to read it. And I did. One of the only books I finished in March (wow good for me uh). What can I say? With colorful drawings and cats, you discover things about Japan, it's cute and lighthearted.
So yeah, I definitely encourage you to read It if you want a quick and good read.
