IKR, Andi! I know it’s getting mixed reviews but I loved its pace and characters.

I could see how the reviews would vary. It was a slower pace but I feel as if that is Ishiguro’s style- understated, restrained. It worked for me but you need to be in the frame of mind to read a fairytale w/ old-fashioned language. I was and found Beatrice and Axl to be so sweet and compelling that they were enough- if that makes sense.

It seems like he writes from a pretty wide range, though, and maybe I need to pick up something else.

Did you think it was slow and lacked tension? Seems like you enjoyed it – it’s funny how differently readers can feel about a novel like this.
It’s on my TBR.

Beatrice & Axl’s relationship and their reactions (for lack of a better word) to their journey is my favourite part about this book 🙂
