I really wanted to love this one, but perhaps I simply wasn't in the right headspace for it when I picked it up? The translation felt a little middle-grade, and I wasn't captivated at all. Instead, the story felt a bit too dreamlike and neither here nor there, and I wasn't invested in any of the characters, especially our protagonist. I wanted to DNF it at 10%, then again at 77% (but I was already too far gone!).
