I have read the first book in this series, and I must say -- Toshikazu Kawaguchi's writing has improved leagues better! This book is more novel-like than the first book which I appreciate, and made me root for the characters.
The stories in this collection are also more heartbreaking than the first one, even though it didn't make me cry. My favorite though is The Daughter, and I really like fictional stories rooted in real-life disasters.
Overall, I'm giving this book 3.75 stars.
Excited to read more from Kawaguchi!
