Sometimes the book has everything you like and it just doesn't hit, like this one for me. I adore time travel, love short stories, and love love when book character-driven. But this one in a little more than 200 pages was so difficult to get through for me. Closer to the end I found out this was a play originally and I think I would enjoy it more on stage.
But like the but i didnt a good time in the slightest and I'm not sure it was because of translation or author's style or me not just vibing with it.
2.6 stars for last story and very interesting concept of time travel and its rules. I think I will try one more book with different translator to get it but I don't think I will continue with whole series.
