As a Ghibli lover since childhood I found this title to be somewhat of a rough watch. Compared to the other titles this one failes in comparison. The first aspect was a lack of character development which in other titles I found myself feeling close to the characters. This Character seems to lack the fundamental values as the others. As well as I found myself critiquing the lack of artwork in this title compared to the others. The colors are bland grays and dark tones. Where as some scenes just seemed lazily drawn. Furthermore, the story of this title seems to be all over the place and not completely making much sense as it progressed sometimes lagging on useless filler. I get that this is one of their more dated titles, however this will not be on my replay list as the others.

I found this book to be very poetic, that being said the author (god rest his soul, and I pity him not being discovered while he was alive), he was a very talented author in that sense. However, the context of the book is extremely advanced, using extremely unused words from the english dictionary. I get the sense, the soul, and the effort poured into this book However; alot of times the narrative and main topic would be deluted and construed into and poetic 4 page long word jumble jumping from topic to topic losing the main narrative of what is actually going on in the moment. I find it more of a very long poem than a book about adventure. Because, the story is so deluted by so many poetic passages that you have no idea where you are or what's going on. Possibly I'm not as advanced enough to fully grasp at what's going on but that's just my opinion. The book is wonderful in it's own way, it's a poetic masterpiece and I enjoyed it, I just would have liked to fully understand more what I read. Definately should be one of your bucket list books to read, just take that with a grain of salt when you get into it. Enjoy; I'd love recommendations on other books if any of you have any ideas.
