Unfortunately DNF… high fantasy really isn’t my cup of tea, it doesnt matter how many female characters you’ve got, apparently.

Absolutely peak Weird. It only took me 10 years to start reading this and oh my god, it was so much better than I expected. The setting, characters and ambiguity are amazing. Im in love with the worldbuilding. Cant wait to read the other ones!

Found my new favourite book. What a delight. Amazing character work and worldbuilding. Beautifully written. Just the right amount of will-they-wont-they, even though that’s not the main point of the story. I listened to the audiobook on Audible and the narrator is also FANTASTIC. She really did give each character a different voice. Im absolutely in love with this story.

I see lots of complaints about the author’s performance for this audiobook. Is it sterile and lacking in nuance? Sure, but I think it also kind of fits the book. Can’t imagine Jennette McCurdy was thrilled in doing this. Her detached voice matches the emotional detachment one has when confronting a life of trauma. Hearing her voice breaks when her dawing revelation happens at the end breaks my heart. The writing is stiff and somewhat direct; once again something I would expect from someone who spent their whole life shutting up their own emotions for the benefit of others. It’s a poignant read that has the potential to spark a lot of relevant debate at the familial and community level. Jennette is glad her mom is dead and so am I, but I’m also …

Officially now one of my favorite books. What a journey. I love how simple and mundane everything is in this, and yet how magical Sayaka Murata makes it. It's beyond words really. The story of a somewhat out-of-place, late-thirties woman working in a convenience store and simply not following society's expectations--not because she knows better, not out of spite, not because of a grand plan, but because she simply doesn't care and she's living her life just how she likes it--and leaving everyone STUNNED. What an absolute thrill and delight. What amazing "antagonists" we have in this. What an amazing mind in the protagonist. Absolutely love love love.
