My Thoughts on the Book
There's both good and bad elements with this book. I did really enjoy the premise of the book and the amazing descriptions of the author, as well as the language and the writing style. The book is also a proper vibe to say it the least. What I struggled a bit with was that I felt several of the side characters had more character development than Sakura, which is supposed to be the protagonist of the story.
I'm not saying it's a bad book though, as I thought it was rather charming, but there were an element or two that may could be improved a little bit.
