This book felt like a chore to read. Watered down romance posing as a cozy Miyazaki-esque fantasy. Really, it doesn’t hit the mark.
Very well written and entrancing, but what keeps you going is trying to find an answer to the mysteries. At the end, there are no answers , which I think is the point. We are like the MC in that regard. But, if that bothers you, you will not want to read this book.
The beginning was slow. The middle had delicious sexual and romantic tension. After that, the romance felt rushed. I didn’t love the last third of the book. It wasn’t awful, but not one I’d rush to recommend. It felt unrefined.
How am I supposed to take a break before the next book with an ending like that? 😭 as usual, exceptional storytelling. These are huge and all consuming stories, though, and I have a hard time going right from one to the next.
Ditto @ what beth7891’s review said. Garbage writing, and not “so bad it’s good.” It’s just bad. Come on guys, let’s get a little more critical of the media we consume.
I don’t personally like to rate non fiction, but this is a very important memoir that I would recommend to anybody. It is extremely well written and engaging. It is funny, thoughtful, heartbreaking, and full of love. Amazing.
