Think this was the third time I read COI.
I agree that it does feel fast paced and some elements do feel as though they could do with more fleshing out, I also think that the questions that we are left asking are potentially on purpose?
As though we only ever get to know and see what Imae and Ryujin do, which I always appreciate.
Anyway, it's a very nice read with a great cast of characters and a satisfying ending.
I'm just catching up but holy shit I'm so sad for Jose
