Kallion piilevää alkoholismia ei tiedosteta vieläkään, mutta yhtä läsnä se on tässäkin osassa. Kallio moralisoi muita ihmisiä varattuihin sekaantumisesta, vaikka hän itse kuolaa saman Taskisen perään jo kahdeksatta kirjaa ja suuteleekin vielä!! anteeks mitä
En myöskään yhtään pitänyt siitä, millaiseksi Ursulan hahmo oli kirjoitettu ja millaisia asenteita ja arvoja tämän avulla välitettiin — Kallioko feministi? Vaikea uskoa, varsinkin kun miettii miten hän puolustelee Heliä ja tuomitsee Ursulan täysin samasta asiasta.
Rikosjuonet näissä on aina koukuttavia ja hyvin tehtyjä, mutta itse päähenkilö pistää ärsyttämään kirjasta toiseen. Tiedän jo nyt tulevani lukemaan seuraavankin osan, mutta uskon samojen epäkohtien jatkuvan sielläkin.

Lopulta kaikki kietoutuu yhteen niin kauniisti — metsä, kaupunki, simpukat ja ihmiset. Maailman lyhyimmät 580 sivua, voisin ja haluaisin lukea toisen samanmoisen heti putkeen.

Harvoin mie kiinnyn johonkin teokseen näin paljon näin lyhyessä ajassa, mutta tää oli pakko lukee lähes yhdeltä istumalta ja itkukin pääs kirjan loputtua :'( eihän tää mikään maailman paras teksti oo, mutta jätti kuitenkin sellasen lähtemättömän viiden tähden kutinan että menköön fiilispohjalta <3 monta muuta Saision teosta lukeneena erityisesti yllätti se, että miten voikin esikoisteos olla näin hyvä??

The first half? third? was very interesting, then it got more boring and hypothetical towards the end; I love evolutionary history but don't really care about economics

comfort characters in my comfort universe obviously cannot make a bad story!! but having read heartstopper 5 this felt too repetitive, like a filler episode. (or is the comic repetitive as this novella came out first?)
the few illustrations were a nice touch <3
