The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang
4.0
I loved it, I find it hard to get into the book at first, and I sill have some unanswered questions... and the ending didn't answer them to me, I felt like there wer but I'm satisfied with the ending.
I really liked the characters, especially the main character Misaki. You can feel that she is mature and strong in time of war and sufferings! But her husband... No at first, But Yes the end, you can't hate someone without knowing their reasons right?!
What I loved the most when I was reading this book is that it gave me so ideas about Japanese culture and how are the Japanese warriors.
Now I really want to visit Japan...

The Moonlight Child by Karen McQuestion
The book is about Sharon Lemke, who was out on her patio watching a lunar eclipse, late one night, then she noticed a little child washing dishes in the kitchen of her the neighbors who don't have a child that young. So she thought she might imagined it, then an eighteen-year-old Niki who has recently aged out of the foster care system comes to live with her,
Sharon's concerns become shared. Time passed since that night and the clues are pinging Niki's internal radar system. She isn't willing to leave things to chance if there is a child who may be at risk. Together they try to reveal the neighbors's lies about the little child and save her.
For me it was kind of slow, predictable, no action, and no twists. Nothing kept me question and guessing, though the book has hit ratings and good reviews (that's why picked it) and I do love reading mystery thrillers, but it didn't live to my expectation.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
5.0
I finished it. And I wish I listened to people when they warned me about it. Now I regret my decision of reading it, Yes. The writing is beautiful, and yes, I liked the characters I even loved them (some I wish I could finish them myself) and I regretted it not because I hated it (I hated that ending though, what kind of ending is that?? That's unfair. We deserved a happy ending, at least something good, but that's why its called A Little Life I guess). But Because it was so much to handle. The horror of what was happening, and I went so deep into their life, I felt every feeling they felt. I feel like I was their friend. And they all left me, and I ended up alone
I'm so emotionally destroyed, devastated and wrecked. I don't think I'll be 100% recovered. This probably will be stuck in my head for days if not for months
It was tough .Very tough. And it wasn't for me, I don't know what was I thinking.
If anybody wants to read this book. This book is not for everyone. Check the trigger warnings. And if anything triggered you, don't read it. Don't be stubborn like me to know if it's that sad or how it ends, cause that's what got me into this mess. Its 720 pages of tragedy-after-tragedy-with-a-little-sprinkles-of-happiness book. And I honestly, I don't recommend it to anyone.
