Neither Character Is As Awful As I Thought They Were In the Last Book
Ahhh what glowing praise I’ve bestowed upon the characters in my title. hahaha. I won’t be able to talk much about the plot of this book unless I was willing to talk about some major plot points from the second book because you might want to read that book.

This book bored and frustrated me for the first third, and then something turned and the plot and interesting character stuff got going, and my annoyances were subsumed under actual interest for the characters and story.

The basic story is a bunch or random people cross paths in the Tokyo neighborhood of Ikebukuro, and eventually their various narratives start coming together. Main characters include high schoolers Mikado, Anri, […]

Wherein we find out even more about Stoker’s past
