dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

start was slow as hell. was massively bored of all the dialogue at multiple points. picked up in the middle and i started to enjoy it more.
Spoiler the ending was so unsatisfying. why would you build up a whole relationship to then destroy it all because mitsustuka was apparently a fraud? BS if you ask me especially because it seemed so out of his character for him.


average book overall. i enjoyed being inside the head of a character who felt isolated, but the ending ruined everything for me. 3.5 stars :)
