What a strange, charming book. Sometimes I really didn’t know what was happening, like I’d missed a chapter somewhere. But very interesting concept and characters, and I loved the octopus so much

Ich weiß nicht warum, aber ich hab verhältnismäßig unglaublich lange für das Buch gebraucht. Meine Vermutung liegt, dass mir der Schreibstil einfach nicht passt, aber es war trotzdem toll.

Ich liebe einfach den kleinen Katsu und auch die Kombination aus den Charakter ist umwerfend.

My first by this author and I found it atmospheric and absorbing. Time-related shenanigans usually make my brain hurt and this was no exception, but I really liked the sense of place and the central love story.

I had a few issues with the role the main female character plays - her actions at the end just didn't make sense to me - but overall I enjoyed it (particularly the clockwork octopus who steals socks!) and I'll be carrying on with the series.

Half a star for Grace not being bland and boring
