silly review:
I've read enough welcome back bluey season 2 episode 26 "sleepytime" (2020)
serious review:
This is a lot of plotless meandering. And I'm okay with plotless meandering! I enjoy plotless meandering! But sometimes it gets a little too much, and I wonder if *maybe* it could have used less words. And this is not a long book to begin with.
At least the writing is beautiful, but if you want more substance to your books this isn't for you. Me, I can subsist just fine on beautiful words, but I started to feel the drag 3/4 the way in. Some of the passages are truly lovely, but not as impactful as it could have been, lacking any strong emotional attachment to the characters or any stakes. Not all books need them, but I wish there was something more in this book for me to cling to.
