While i know this is probably the most hated book from the series and is hated by the author himself, i seriously enjoyed it.
yes, the writing is literally telling, not showing which is usually such a turn off, but honestly — probably because of how fixated i am — it didn't bother me one bit here.
I absolutely love Mischa and Hannibal's relationship to her. I am such a sucker for sibling tropes AND it's even more heartbreaking when it's angsty/no good ending in sight.
i feel so damaged of how he lost everyone, especially Mischa.
His relationship with Lady Murasaki is weird.
anyway, the hannibal core scenes are great and not disgustingly gory, which i appreciate
In conclusion, hannibal is just a teenage girl and i could make a three hour long video explaining every single detail, parallel, psychology and every niche thing in this book. muck. 🎀🎀.

I couldn’t put this book down, I was reading and listening to the audiobook so I finished it in days because I just couldn’t put it down.

On the negative side, it's a slow crawl to find the plot, and it's not very satisfying when it finally shows up.
On the extra subjective side, I found it very slow going in general. It felt like Hannibal was 13 forever and then he was 18 forever. I get that these were the parts of his life that were most significant but I still found it very slow.
