Beautifully Written by Shallow Fantasy

CW: pregnancy

Despite Julia being is destined to bring change to Reende she doesn't do anything besides have a magical baby, because the only thing women in this world are good for is having babies. Blarg.

I wanted to like this story. I had high hopes because the beginning was so beautifully written. Scenes were depicted with multiple senses instead of just described, and the world and characters seemed generally interesting.

But then the story continues and not much happens. Years of time whizz by with neither Julia nor Tristan changing that much. Then the last third of the book happens... Overall very disappointed.

This reads like a YA novel instead of a high-fantasy novel.

The Japanese uses a lot of advanced vocabulary and kanji that you don't learn at N1 level, so it's great if you're looking for a book to practice beyond N1+.
