A moving and mysterious tale, since if the violence and issues are depressing but they are kicking wrapped in beautiful words like a treasured gift.

I just couldn't connect with this one. I found the nonlinear storytelling hard to follow which definitely wasn't helping.

The audiobook narration was very oldschool. Announcements like "this is the end of disc 1" were a real throwback.
