What did I just read? 😂
It felt like a cross between 1984 and The Memory Police, but in a much more mystical way. I wish I liked it more; it had the potential to be weird and whimsical, but unfortunately it fell short.
Every time you’d get to a good part, it would skip to something else and I felt very lost 🥺
I’m giving it 2.5 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨

Após um desastre no Japão se corta do resto do mundo. As crianças estão fracas e não conseguem andar ou ficar em pé, com os idosos sendo os únicos a conseguir se manter em pé. Mumei vive com seu bisavô Yoshiro, que se preocupa com ele. Mesmo para um garoto doente, ele é livre de pessimismo e oferece para seu bisavô “a esperança de um tempo bonito que continua para vir”.
Eu senti que a escrita do livro foi confusa, não era uma escrita ruim mas ao mesmo tempo dava a impressão de que muita coisa foi cortada ou que era para ser a introdução de um livro maior.
Recomendarei para quem quer ler algo rápido e meio magico em relação às pessoa e sua experiências mas já sabendo que minha opinião foi de um meio e final confuso.

A fun short book, but I think a longer story would have made the characters more compelling. As is, the book is not so engaging.
