This book is like new, having been purchased yesterday and read only once. My rating of this book: 2/5 For someone who has lived a long life like me, the stories were all commonplace and didn't draw me in. I felt they were old-fashioned... This is just my opinion, as I lack reading comprehension! I apologize to all the Miyuki Miyabe fans (˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
