A poor translation has muddied the authors prose making this book borderline unreadable. A fast read with interesting characters in a vivid world you could get lost in if this book gets a better retranslation that doesn’t lose any of the authors meaning. I read a lot of translated material and used to vivid beautiful sentences not monotonous text book translations.

I think this book was good. I requested it because it sounded interesting, and it was. The cast of characters was interesting and all so different from one another

DNF because it is written in present tense and there is some incredibly distracting & odd capitalization going on.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. I am sorry that it didn’t work out for me, because it sounded really interesting.
