Memorial, 29 June

I had much higher expectations from this book than it has met. The book employs an interesting but not unheard-of prose poetry structure with almost no punctuation, which was much easier to follow than other books employing a similar structure. It is also a very quiet book, which I personally appreciate, but it seems somewhat effervescent, ig? I was also somewhat dissatisfied with the lack of proper portrayal of Mai and Asta's relationship. I love reading about realistic female friendships, and I feel like I was deprived of that here. Overall, it was “fine,” I'd rate it 3.25 or 3.5 out of 4
