- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A short love story, done in a traditional Japanese love story way. Not my typical read. It was very sad and had a more traditional Japanese fairy-tale ending. The writing needed to be flushed out a bit more, but on a whole, a good first story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review.(This review will contain spoilers).I usually don't comment on the covers, but I will mention I like this cover. I'm a sucker for art.This is a short but sweet book. Because of its length, I'd say the story revolves more around a concept than developing characters. We fly through certain portions of their lives, being told a lot about what happens rather than shown. If you're looking for a quick, interesting take on a tragic love story that's fine. It's a pretty sweet, innocent love story with an ending that is up for interpretation.The narration is stilted but I believe that's done purposefully, to make it sound like it was translated from Japanese. I read Japanese translations all the time so it didn't really bother me. The dialogue sounded more like a historical manga than a modern one to me, but I don't pick up a lot of romances so it could just be modeled after a genre I don't follow.Honestly, the author could probably take this exact same story and flesh it out into something much bigger. As I mentioned, we get told a lot, so it would be easy to expand on parts and spend a lot more time with the characters. The overall story is pretty solid, and it's a good concept.It would be a good book for someone to pick up if they're looking for a quick, romantic read and don't mind some sad twists.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good, not great story. I found myself wanting to rush through it to the end at times. Slowing down is worth it, though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Moonlight starts with the first day Tadao and Yuzuki met. They take turns in sharing their side of how they saw their childhood, of becoming best friends - lovers eventually. They're separated but vow to meet again as adults. Will they stand a chance?!Gekkō-san might hold a key, but David Rose has got one too: Alternating narrators, romance meets tragedy, modern Japan and old beliefs with a sprinkle of magic. It flows unbelievably smooth! This, however, does not take away you might ride a few waves (and possibly get a little dust in your eye Å_Å )! This novella had a bigger impact on me than expected and looking forward to read more of Rose's works!
