3.5/5 they’re so married and i loved watching them grow soft. and my heart goes out to how easy it could have been. it’s a special kind of mood this book creates where i yearn for it to be softer, but then the tenderness is stored in the possibilities, isn’t it?
For me, the spy story in the beginning was rather dull (the culprit was quite obvious from the moment he was introduced) and the ending of it felt a bit like a "throwaway", as if the author suddenly realized that the story needs some resolution, while the characters didn't really suffer from any repercussions for their actions. The most interesting part for me was the middle part (which I assume is boring for most other people), as it had so many aspects of Japan. The big finale was ok, although the gay romance was unexpected (but carefully hinted at beforehand) and the "betrayal" seemed a bit out of place. The concept of Moris power is very interesting and quite unusual, although it also feels as if it's not as fleshed out as it could (or should) be, but maybe it will be touched upon in a second book? All in all, although interesting concepts and ideas, the story seems to "want too much". There's a spy story, romance, racism, feminism, lgbtq+, action and fantasy all mashed into one book, but nothing is fleshed out enough and it feels like a chaotic walk from one genre to another.
