2025 book 212

 Solvej Balle’s On the Calculation of Volume (Book II)

I enjoyed this more than the first one—it has more momentum and the narrator has a slightly more positive attitude, so it was less stressful to read. Lots of lovely descriptions. I will say I read something about the third book that spoiled the end of this one, so I was a little impatient waiting for things to go down, but that’s not the book’s fault. It’s a really great entry in a series on its own. A/A-.

I just finished this one. These books are so lonely and fascinating and compelling! I think I liked this one better, too, because it wasn't as sad. Her parents were cute, too, I thought.
