First thoughts on this: basically Lord of the Rings.

I adore the description of outfits!! I would very gladly read a whole list of all the 28 seasonal outfits...🥰

Watched the movie/read the book Memoirs of a Geisha back in High School for a class called Reading the Movies. Loved the story, but didn't find out until a few years ago that it wasn't her story. I'm excited to finally hear it from her own perspective. I was pleased to see it on this reading challenge!

I'm reading a German translation of this and it's low-key funny. I heard that the Frieren names are very clearly German, but I didn't know it was too on the nose.

It's fun, I'm not really criticising it, but it does give me a chuckle everytime I come across a mams and how it's clearly reflected in their personality.

Got me thinking - are there any German fans here? What do you think about that (and the German translations in general)? Are there any readers out there interested in a breakdown on these names and my predictions on these characters?
