I wanted to like this book more, but the two main characters drove me a bit crazy with their indecisiveness.

This book was hauntingly sad and yet uplifting. A slim, beautiful novel that will surely stay with you for a long time.

I've enjoyed reading each of the books in this series, which features Vicky Holden, an Arapaho lawyer, and Father John O'Malley, the "Indian Priest" at the Jesuit Parish. In this mystery, a white buffalo is born on a privately owned ranch within the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. A white buffalo is considered sacred to members of the native tribes. Suddenly, crowds arrive to view the calf, causing turmoil and leading to the discovery that native ranch hands have been disappearing from the ranch. Vicky and Father John play a pivotal role in solving the mystery of the disappearances.

Interesting, fun, plot twists

In the final volume of this wonderful series we learn that the reason Takuto couldn't become a full shinigami was because he wasn't actually dead. He was in a coma!!!!!! He wakes up and there is a touching scene with him and Mitsuki who luckily end up together. I loved this book series!!!!!

In the first volume of this series we learn about Akiko's sensei at her new art school. He shouts a lot and whacks then with a bamboo sword and has a tough exterior, but on the inside he is kind and loving.

It was good.

I feel like translated stories are hard to rate, and from the notes, Akutagawa's style is especially hard to convey in English. Most of the stories were probably more engaging in Japanese, but Goi's pain in Yam Gruel was too real.

I could completely sympathize with the fear and horror the characters felt when they were unexpectedly confronted with improv actors- and their frustration when they didn't do well! Improv is already one of my greatest fears ?? I'm no good on the spot! Turning things around and picking outrageously specific scenarios because it's fun and to make life difficult for the people who ambushed you sure feels relatable!

Interesting story about the Vanderbuilts history
