Not for the first time, I feel like this book has some pacing issues. Unlike the previous volume, this book feels very slow, and is a bit harder to keep reading. The story is still super interesting, as are the characters, and I like how there's more focus on the Shiki and how they're organising themselves as well.
It's great that once the people in the village start to understand what's happening, we as readers also understand more of what's happening because we get those extra Shiki viewpoints. They are much more actual characters in this book, and I'm really happy with that.
That said, it doesn't feel like all that much happened in this book, except for the Toshio/Kaori points of view. The other felt a bit shallow, and I wish they were as fun/interesting as the Toshio/Kaori povs.
