+ loved the temporal setting, the fact that several of the first book's characters recurred here and that the story elaborated on their lives
- I don't like children so I didn't enjoy the passages about Miki that much and I found the first book was more circular because all the stories were somehow connected/overlapping and here they were rather individual

this book was a wonderful short read i loved it. however, i kinda hoped/expected for more.
  1. it was very similar to the first book, it goes over the rules and all the characters so it was kinda like rereading the same book but with different characters.
  2. i also noticed repeated sentences and the same idea on each chapter, kinda hoped for creativity in their stories, but some may not mind. 
these are the only things i noticed. other than that everything else is very beautiful written and explained!!
