I was worried where it was going to go in the early chapters, but thankfully it went in a whole other direction and I loved it. A little slow to start, it weaves the stories of the three women beautifully, and still keeps the classic sultriness of vampires that you would come to expect while sinultaneously showing them in a human light. The way the lore was built out was well done, and I enjoyed the sapphic relationships in the book. The ending was exactly what I hoped for and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I enjoyed the messaging of the book since it still remains true today. It definitely highlights how a lot of men will believe another man over a woman, even despite the evidence smacking them in the face and how eager they are to overlook the trauma and deaths that happen to women because of them or other men. I wish the pacing was just a bit more fast and that there was more done with the ghostly aspects of the book. But overall I enjoyed it and it was a good, quick read.

if you love Japanese humor, then this one is for you. I think, if you're not already accustomed to Japanese absurdism, some things may get a little lost in translation, but it's a fun read nonetheless. You view the characters through the perspective of a haughty unnamed cat, and it shows. It's a comfort read as much as it is quite a bit of sarcastic commentary on society. It's low stakes, slower paced, and a good book to read if you just want something cozy but comedic.

There was not a single wasted story in this book and they were all hits. I am glad my copy didn't have the intro originally written by Gaiman. Every single story hit it out of the park, and the collection ranges from sad to scary to joyful and everything in-between. I could not have asked for a better book. And now I have to buy all of his other works.

I enjoyed the humor and social commentary of this one. I think reality would take a darker turn if the moon did indeed turn to cheese, but otherwise this perfectly captured the ways people would attempt to profit off the momentous occasion and the varying levels of care that people would have toward a cheese moon with no immediate ill effects. Satirical and fast-paced, this made for a quick read and an enjoyable one.
