I'm a little flustered trying to describe this so soon after finishing. The first several chapters were intriguing enough that I kept reading despite having a very hard time focusing on it, and then after a while I got really into it. I fell completely in love with the middle, tried not to get my hopes up about the ending, and was deeply, preemptively heartbroken for what I felt sure couldn't happen. The weird thing is that in the end I got what I wanted, but I feel more as though I didn't. It was too easy, at the very end, and MUCH too hard leading up to that. The whole debacle with Grace and Katsu was so much more stressful than I wanted it to be, and I'm kind of furious with Pulley for going that direction. My absolute favorite parts were the middle with Thaniel and Mori getting to know each other, and I wish it could have continued in that beautiful, gentle way instead of going all to hell. I was very emotionally invested here. The bright side is that now that I know how it ends, maybe I can read it in the future with less stress and just appreciate the relationship that was so happy for me.
