Status Updates From The Scent of Sake: A Powerf...

I’ve decided to hang in for the fascinating details about the culture. But the storyline is so thin, it’s not easy.

We shall see… love the topic and locale. Sadly, reviews aren’t kind.

Only updating to see how much of this abysmal book I have left to read...

There are no stakes within this book. The female main character is unhappy with her arranged marriage and she loves someone else whom she can never be with. That's the extent of the "obstacles" that she faces. Despite being a woman, her family never criticizes her sticking her nose where it doesn't belong (the sake business they own) and she always has the best ideas when it comes to expanding their influence... ugh.
