4 🌟 I was a bit confused starting this book as I didn't realize it was 4 different interconnected short stories. I think it may have lost a little something in translation. It was repetitive in stating the rules.. Even within a story to the point of being a bit annoying. I did get teary eyed in the 2nd and 4th story. The overall theme of the stories were easy to get, even if the telling of them fell a little flat. I also think the culture difference between the author and myself led to some of the phrasing and tone of passages to just be odd for me.
super speedy read, i really liked it
the writing style was similar to “the cabinet” which i read this summer
really beautiful subject matter, and i appreciated the way the author addressed a common literary idea (time travel) in a new way

My expectations were high and I was definitely disappointed. The storyline is inviting but the writing— which could be due to translation or the idea it was intended as a play first— left much to be desired. It is rare I feel like I wasted time finishing a book, but I do feel that way. I have no intention on reading the other books in this series :/
