    I have 0 expectations. I know nothing. Actually nothing I didn’t even realize this was about pirates. I’m annoyed that the MMC is named Monkey but I’ll let it slide… I have checked out the first 9 volumes so we will see 🫡

    It took me 4 years off and on to read this book. There was a year where I don’t think I read more than a chapter. And honestly it was great. This book has such depth. I did struggle at times with the philosophical aspects and after becoming a mother I struggled with how children were disregarded in this book but overall I very much enjoyed it.

    Some things that particularly stood out to me was the themes of the book like the exploration of what the soul needs. At what point in life is religion something someone needs? Do they ever need it? Can someone be satisfied by love from this world alone? What is true love? Is marriage required for happiness to exist? And, within religion, is being good enough and doing good works enough to save the soul?

    Honestly this would have been a 5 star read for me if it wasn’t so dense at times and there wasn’t child neglect.

    Overall Rating: 4.5/5

    TW: death, suicide, war, violence, pregnancy and birth, miscarriage, child neglect, cheating and infidelity, alcohol and drug use
