Fighting not to DNF this. The writing style is just too plain and boring compared to how engaging the storytelling is in the anime. Maybe it's a translation thing, maybe I'm just not into light novels.

I need all these powerful men in their 30's to please stop making moves on 18 year old Tsukimi 😵‍💫

Reading this for the first time since childhood, and am now coming to realize that the version I had as a kid was heavily abridged because there is significantly more racism than I remember 😬

Damn, Du Maurier usually likes to wait until the end to hit you with a crazy gut punch, but looks like we're getting started early this time 😳

I haven't been so caught off guard by a book bringing me to tears like this in a minute. What a beautiful masterclass of setup and pay off. 💛

Stop threatening to do horrible things to my boy, I can't take it 😭

Well that was a punch to the gut after 100 pages of mostly lightheaded slice of life stuff. Consider me thoroughly hooked!

BioShock has some of the most fascinating worldbuilding and lore out there....and yet this book is weirdly boring.

man, this shit goofy as hell

Alright, this shit's getting weird.

HEY WTF??? OH MY GOD???

Okay damn, I gotta go back and re-read the first one before I can keep going. It's been over 2 years since I read the first book and I've fully lost track of the plot. 😅

Things pick up exactly where we left off with no breathing room to ease you back into things and bring you back up to speed. Feels like I stopped reading halfway through a chapter and then picked it up again years later. Whoops, brb!
