Tearmoon Empire: Volume 1 by Nozomu Mochitsuki

3.0

I REALLY wanted to like this book, which, I did!

BUUUUT

Mochitsuki feels like she force feeds you/spoon feeds you at the same time if that makes sense. None of the information we're given feels earned and everything is expositioned and hammered into your head until you're bleeding on the floor being force-fed even more until you understand that MIA HATES THE GUILLOTINE

I get it girl, but you don't need to repeat that over 10 other POVs

Also, the chapters were a bit too short, and didn't feel like a lot was happening to the point, that when I did finish a chapter, it didn't feel earned.

The pairing that is happening is something I'm rooting for though, so points for that. This series shines on several uses of clever writing, short chapters (for those that want it), and having everything explained with nothing left hanging (which again, can be seen as a highlight for some)

Read this if you haven't read in a long time and need the easiest read you can possibly imagine
