Ashiya’s Reviews > The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories > Status Update

Some of the stories I liked much. Others not so much, still they all have a different meaning c: So far I really liked Good Hunting and The Paper Menagerie very much (or State Change. or Perfect Match..). I think the meaning changes from reader to reader, but as an half-asian Paper Menagerie has a special meaning to me. Had some déjà-vu moments and I‘m glad to have not acted the same way as the protagonist.. c:

A person very dear to me gifted me this book~
The short stories are really thought-provoking, and each one has a different problem/meaning. Every story has a kind of magic in it c: One story for example is about how magic changes as the Industrial Revolution approaches/ the world changes. Traditional magic (Yokais etc.) makes place for a newer and stronger one- called technology.

I like all stories till now :3
