Loved

it really didn't even scratch the surface of the atmosphere of that book for me so this was a disappointment i will not be continuing on with this series i don't think i'll probably give kersinger's other series a go just because like castle in the clouds ma'am i think about it at least once a week

Disliked

it was all over the place i found it really slow and then way too fast skipping over parts that i actually wanted to listen to longer and then really slow again there were a lot of elements in this book with the messaging and like just with our main character's thought process that i found just troubling for lack of a better word and that i just was not a fan of

Loved

this is a little collection of indigenous australian poetry and it was really good this was a gift from joy thank you so much for sending this to me i did not know this existed previously but i really liked it would highly recommend

Loved

it was just it was so good it was so scintillating it just massaged your brain and made you think and be like wow that is incredibly messed up but like this is literally a good representation of our world and yeah i would highly recommend

Liked

i would say read it for that read it if you're interested in yokai and learning more about japanese mythology that was super cool that was super well done but as a whole for the characters and the pacing and plotting and the overall substance of the book i did have to give it three stars
