It's really hard to dislike this book.

Like even though the romance is cheesy, the lead is annoying and doesn't have a believable redemption arc, and many of the musings on death just aren't that deep.... This book is fundamentally fun to read. I'd classify it as a fairytale for adults in that sense - simple and absurd but endearing.

I stand by my earlier observations: Hugo could do so much better and spiritfarer was a great video game to play during the early covid days.

Recommended if you liked Cerulean Sea and want the same novel in another setting, if you're into fairytales for grown ups, and if you like sarcasm from your omniscient narrator. A solid 4 stars.
