So far, I have read the books Bullet Train by Kotaro Isaka and some parts of the Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Currently, I am reading The Unraveling of Mercy Louis by Keija Parssinen.

Bullet Train has had the most significant impact on me because of the different timelines, many unexpected plot twists, and how Isaka deeply developed each character to have their own seemingly “real” and unique personality. After reading the Bullet Train, each character left a deep impression on me, and there was no one character I really hated. The Prince, Satoshi Oji, only caused me to feel discomfort despite everything he makes Kimura do, as Isaka develops the Prince’s thinking logically or understandably. My favourite character is probably Lemon, as Isaka paints this character with two different sides; one side is childish and loves Thomas the Train, while the other is a skilled and experienced killer.

I dropped the Red Queen because I realised that I had read the book multiple times before, and although rereading could bring me a deeper understanding of the book, I decided that I could use this time to explore more books.

After reading The Unraveling of Mercy Louis, I plan to read The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. I got this book at the book fair after a friend recommended it, so I look forward to reading it.
