2.0

Concept is interesting but the execution could have been far better. Im not sure how much of my issues with the book are due to the translation vs the actual writing. The language felt very odd and stilted. The story dragged a lot in multiple places. We spend far too much time in Kenji's head as he critiques and runs commentary on Japan. Felt less like a thriller and more like I was reading some bitter dude's interpretation on Japanese culture and history. Even after the biggest murder happens, the pace drops right back down and continues to slag. I was honestly bored for most of the novel.

Not for the faint of heart. I'm still trying to process this book, and decide if I liked it or not

Intriguingly mysterious, unexpectedly gruesome with a more or less disappointing ending.

Themes: single POV, Japan, sex work, crime, murder
