As always, the artwork was beautiful, and the story was peaceful and nuanced.

I really loved how much joy the camera brought to the women. Not only that, them learning how their names are spelt was truly heart warming! I am loving that Tala is getting to interact with all the lovely woman we have met along the way!!! It' just making me so happy !!

Toujours aussi sympa de suivre ces histoires au Turkistan mais alors je ne me rappelle jamais de qui est qui, de qui est où, et de qui connait qui. Donc c'est joli et touchant mais alors aucune cohérence à mes yeux car je ne me rappelle pas de leurs histoires précédentes haha. Comme quoi c'est vraiment bien dessiné et écrit quand même car malgré tout cas, j'adore toujours les lire quand un tome sort x'D.

Beautiful and winding volume. We touch on almost all the characters with a very Mori focus on beauty.

I'm back in Christchurch for a few months at the moment, which means that I can plunder the Christchurch public library for this series (generally, my usual small-town library does not run to stuff like this). As always, it was thoroughly enjoyable. The artwork in this series is so beautiful, and so detailed, that it's always a pleasure to look at. And I especially enjoyed the structure, which was very loosely connected chapters on the various characters, who are all separated by vast amounts of geography, but who are all experiencing moments of boredom and are finding small ways to cope with it. I think that's one of the really appealing thing about this series for me: there's such a sustained focus on daily life, where everything's important, no matter how domestic or small-scale. It's very slice-of-life, and that's fascinating to me in a historical story set in a part of the world I've never been to.
