songmingi's Reviews (199)

This was a thoroughly interesting book, full of beautiful images. The descriptions truly made this book and I feel it is very unique. The plot was gripping and easy to follow and I found the main character to be very likeable (not going to lie she was a bit naive at times throughout the novel)However I had to rate 3/5 as this book very historically inaccurate and at times, makes the Japanese Geisha culture to be some sort of oddity. However if you keep in mind that this book is fiction it's very interesting to read.

I enjoyed this book alot however certain aspects were a bit annoying for awhile I didn't know where exactly this book was going but things all added up well in the end so I forgave the book but still I felt some things about the ending were a bit rushed.
This book did shine an interesting light on the abortion crisis in ireland and I found that interesting but I can't help but question which parts were exaggerated and which parts were not. I feel I left this book slightly more confused on the situation around abortion in ireland (besides the fact you can't get one unless you're dying and that again is if you're lucky lol) but otherwise I find this book unique and a good light read despite the heavy themes

Did i start reading this cos I'm too impatient to wait for the anime? Yes, yes I did because this series is WORTH it

Oof I feel so bad for poor bishamon she's been through too much :(

Ah the end of the bishamon arc. I really appreciate bishamon as a character so much. A strong, powerful and caring woman!. It's also nice knowing she won't try murder yato anymore.
