Finally… I finished 硝子の塔の殺人 by 知念実希人 (Chinen Mikito).
I think I know exactly how to sum up my experience with this book: I loved the concept, but I did not enjoy reading it.
I liked the homage to the honkaku mystery, and it was fun to go through all the tropes of detective fiction through this book, but it didn’t make for a very compelling story in my opinion.

Anyway, it’s done now, first book in Japanese finished this year! ✨

And with this, I’m at one book finished in each of my three target languages in February! It’s actually a rare occurrence.

Cover of 硝子の塔の殺人, the illustration is a cylindrical tower in a magical landscape with sparkles around the tower and a huge moon in the sky.
