"wow.. this book is an acid trip and as much as its sectioned into fantasy i cant help but see this as Sci-fi, the world is incredibly ancient and unknown, built by a civilization that is not only no longer present but has remnants so scattered they dont even remember their past connection to it." — Jun 28, 2025 08:29PM

"tension is palpable, interesting internal struggles amongst the characters. biggest issue i have is from the human perspective the prose seems to have been left in a very.. clinical state, & i am inclined to blame the translator for this. it reads like an extraordinarily direct translation, most noticeable in the sections dealing with human perspectives." — Jul 13, 2025 07:23PM

"alexander masters does an adequate job of creating as he describes, a biography for a character uninteresting at best and neurotic at worst. not-mary, as the author refers to her was a diarist who over the course of a long life filled one hundred and forty eight diaries ( as per the namestake of the title) the author found these and seeks to create a biography while attempting to not reveal the diarist to himself." — Mar 12, 2025 02:34PM
