I had a lot of ups and downs with this. I was originally annoyed by how bloated and useless a lot of the text felt, only to be pleasantly surprised by how much of it ended up mattering. I also came to enjoy the characters enough that their ramblings became more than tolerable, enjoyable even. I still think you could cut about 1/5 of the content without losing much, but it worked out for me anyway. What an interesting story. I frequently found it hard to put down–I just had to know what came next!
This would probably be more enjoyable if I'd read the book first. On its own, it's way too fast paced and jumpy. But it seems adequate at delivering the story in short order. Not a fan of the art.
This made me pretty sad, and the fantasy element got cranked up a bit more than I was expecting, in a way that made it more distracting and unbelievable rather than fascinating. It was an ok read, but probably one of my least favorite of all the previous books.
This is surprisingly technical. I appreciate the translation notes at the end that go into detail about the different car vocabulary. I'm super impressed with this story's pacing.
First book I ever did original cataloging for, so I'm treasuring this experience a little more for it. :)
