What a brilliant book, what a brilliant translation and I am so happy that there is a sequel to this. Do I want to see what Elin, Seimiya, and Ialu do next? Yes. Yes, I absolutely do.

Beautiful world building. However the story could have definitely been shortened. Although I enjoyed the story overall, it‘s entirely too long and I don‘t see myself having the patience to read the second half of the series.

It took me a while to really get into this story and man did I get into it. I loved this story and can't wait to read the next installment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The writing style was a little difficult for me, but the worldbuilding and story were AMAZING

1. Tagged & The Radium Girls!
2. LOTR and the Martian
3. Actually, LOTR! I‘d never read it before seeing the movies, and I fell so far in love with them that I had to read the book

I really like Nahoko Uehashi's YA fantasy novels. I thought this one was at its best in the first half - I cared more about Elin's relationships with the animals and her mentors than I did about the politics of the kingdom. But I'm looking forward to when the sequel comes out in English.

effani #ReadHarder2020: a doorstopper (>500 pages) by a woman, published after 1950. At 512 pages, this barely qualifies, and my paperback copy isn't going to stop much of a door, but it does qualify. #ReadHarder (edited) 4y

The story was neat, and I liked the discourse on the human-beast relationship, but the writing didn‘t work for me. Not sure how much of that is due to translations, but it was clunky. Info dumps mixed with underdeveloped sections. Very thought-provoking though.

I do love my job sometimes - a bunch of YA proofs just come in 😍😍 I‘m particularly intrigued by The beast Player, a Japanese fantasy with hints of dark folklore and fairy tales!

My last read was very short. This next one appears to be over 500 pages. Hard to judge when it‘s electronic. Also making an appearance, my brand new shiny iPad, and new specs. #currentlyreading #intranslation #marchrelease2018 #rso #middlefiction #fantasy #adventure #magic
