A review by sakisreads
Parade by Allison Markin Powell, Hiromi Kawakami

funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

I think I was probably more likely to get into Hiromi Kawakami’s writing through her novels, but I only had enough of an attention span for this novella 🫠
(I’ve also seen a review that said read this as a companion to Strange Weather in Tokyo, oops! 😂)

Fun and light, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the tengu as less of a deity and more of a human figure. 

3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
