I think this book was not for me. I nearly stopped reading when

he brought out the damsel in distress trope, especially considering Sayo was the most interesting character

but it was a short enough book I was able to finish it.

Non conoscevo questo libro prima di trovarmelo in mano, è stata una scoperta casuale fatta in biblioteca. L'ho trovato in un momento in cui leggere mi riusciva difficile e mi ha illuminato. Sento di aver imparato tanto da queste pagine e spero vivamente che l'autore abbia intenzione di pubblicare qualcos'altro. Lo stile del libro potrebbe risultare lento per alcuni, ma personalmente l'ho trovato azzeccatissimo con la storia e con il protagonista. E' una lettura semplice e dolce, ma molto significativa.
