Unfortunately, I shall have to pause right here :) Perhaps someday I can return to this! It was a bit disappointing, but not in the sense that it wasn’t well written. I just believe it’s not my cup of tea at the moment- Let’s venture to other adventures alike!

Yet ultimately dimming the spotlight, of which we can truly immerse ourselves and enjoy the book to a full extent. Still nice :))
