I had a hard time remembering who is who because at least 3 characters had names starting with K making them hard to distinguish.

The writing felt a bit beginner and it’s hard to tell how much of that is because of the translation. Mostly the book tells you rather than shows you so one feels a little infantilised while reading.

The concept is lovely although I don’t understand how the rule that « going in the past cannot change the present » still allows for a letter from the past to be brought into the present. I liked the conclusion that the point of the chair is not that it will change the present but that characters are the ones who change.

The tone of the book is sweet but the story and characters haven’t stuck with me so I haven’t thought about the book when not reading. That said, it’s undeniably it’s own little world :)
