    It’s probably irrelevant, but i’m having some landscape change in my visualisation of this story. Pre Misaki’s past, the scenery in my imagination is of Avatar-style animation. Post Misaki’s past, however, the atmosphere changed to DC style animation. Honestly, it’s probably the name Robin that triggers this (it’s giving Young Justice). :)

    Was intrigued into reading this as the story was set in Malaysia. However, the protagonist felt a little lacklustre in her character — for someone who is supposedly an accomplished woman in her 40’s, she reads as if she’s in her 20’s. But I’m glad that she did get her happy ending somehow even though it felt like a curveball. This book tackles on some sensitive issues such as racism, religion and misogyny but it’s touched quite lightly I would say. I know that a lot of unsavoury things happened to her, but I don’t have massive amount of sympathy for her as my first introduction to her is that she’s a mistress. In my humble opinion, cheating was always a choice that was made consciously regardless of their reasoning. One thing that I do agree is that religion is always a personal matter and shouldn’t be enforced upon anyone, and it shouldn’t be used as a tool for personal gains.
