Fellow book moth from Australia 🐝 I read across all genres, though fantasy tends to claim most of my time. There’s always a book within reach, and I love diving into something new.

    I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first. It just didn’t give me the same five star feeling. At times it felt forced, and the plot armour was quite heavy. The story itself wasn’t bad, but I think it suffered from trying to do too much at once, with several plotlines being introduced and then too much fear of them being left behind. Hopefully, the third book is better and wraps up this arc nicely.

    This was a nice and easy read. It gave darker Cinderella/Ella Enchanted vibes. The plot moved smoothly and the characters were distinct enough, just very surface level. The plot was typical and mostly predictable but an okay cosy read.

    I love this series so much, and this entry was no exception. I love that we got such a personal story to Chih, focused on the grief of losing someone to death, as well as the grief of growing up.

    The Magic the Gathering gameplay in this manga is so much fun and really well done. The blooming first love between the characters is too cute. I love the store vibes and the sense of community depicted in the manga’s game stores. They can be a lovely place to gather and hang out and I love how this is portrayed.
