Thoughts after the end of Book 2
I still feel very hooked on the book and feel the same excitement to start Book 3 as I felt after finishing Book 1 and starting Book 2.
The story seems more obvious, and the rest of the book seems more predictable in some sense, as I feel like the main questions of the book have been answered and now I'm fully familiar with the characters, yet the book remains extremely interesting.

Review for The End of Book #1 (ending on chapter 24)
With the last chapter, I'm currently not sure whether Aomame's parts were written by Tengo for his book, especially hinting heavily towards that direction with Janáček's music and him saying that he was inspired by the double moon, etc. I don't know how it continues, however; volume one might be the single best piece of literature I've ever read in my life.
