The Lantern of Lost Memories A charming and heartwarming story for fans of cosy Japanese fiction

Diese Novelle war wirklich wunderschön! Sie ist in drei bzw. 4 Kapitel aufgebaut und wirklich sehr schön geschrieben Die Geschichten sind absolut unterschiedlich und trotz dessen sehr inaugurating

This book is absolutely brilliant. It is beautiful and heartbreaking. I cried so many times while reading it and relished every second of it. The writing is beautiful and flawless. It hits the mark! Just God! It was great. No words. I loved all the three stories that were I told and 3 different leads. They all had unique and difficult background. I went into the book, not knowing anything and just came out with an absolute gem. I loved how the concept of in-between was dealt and Hirasaka comforting them in their final journey to the afterlife. All the three stories were different, and I was surprised how attached I felt to all these characters and rooted for them. I also was taken aback by the little reveal at the end. Definitely recommend There is no doubt, I would be reading this book.

In a touching way, Sanaka Hiiragi manages to explore the concept of "What happens when we die?". The story moves and introduces the reader to this topic in a wonderful and thoughtful way.

A good book for a trip, or to get back into reading. The characters are very warm. The book teaches that there is at least something good in everyone - some have more, some have less. It’s a wonderful read for people going through a life crisis, especially those who had fear of death. Would I read it again? No. But it wasn’t bad at all.

The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi was an interesting read, though it didn’t completely blow me away. The concept of unraveling lost memories is intriguing, and the writing style is solid. However, I felt like some parts were a bit slow or repetitive, and it didn’t have the emotional punch I was hoping for. Still, it’s a good pick if you’re into introspective fantasy with a touch of mystery. Overall, a decent read, but not a standout for me.
