I was not as into as I thought I was going to be but either way I'm happy I finished the book.
One of the few books I was determined to read when I pulled it out of my tbr jar was 1Q84, I have owned it for years and years and could never settle in to read it. I went into this book, hard and fast, devouring 100 pages at a time…until about the 3rd part where I stopped completely. It is unlike me not to finish books, but as I grow older and with more books adding to my pile that I want to read, it is not worth it to me to continue something I cannot interest myself in. I was interested in the beginning, in Tengo and Aomame, how they were connected, how they would potentially meet. I truly thought Aomame was a bad ass bitch as an assassin, and Tengo truly a sweetheart. I was obsessed with the storyline of getting revenge on abusers with the dowager and how the moon affected it all – being a moon lover myself. Many moments in this book made me go ‘no way’ or ‘what the hell’ but once the I hit the third part, my interest waned and wavered and it was easier to pick up a psychological thriller then to continue. Life is too short. While confusing at times and a lot to keep track of I would give the first ¾ of this book a solid 3 stars while the last quarter, I technically can’t rate….a 1
