![]() ![]() ![]() The diary of Nao, a 16-year-old Japanese schoolgirl, acts like the patch of flotsam and debris that carried it from Japan: it forcefully draws in Ruth, the novelist who finds it while walking on her Canadian beach. The GPGP is a key catalyst and image in Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being. Condoms, plastic six-pack rings, plastic bags, water bottles, marine debris all float and whirl in the GPGP. The GPGP is in the middle of a gyre, a circular-moving current of water that draws in and traps debris. And we're all floating around, bumping into each other at random, like bits of trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the massive body of debris and trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. What's a time being? You, reading this, are a time being, along with everyone else who is, was, or has been. ![]()

There was one thing I didn't like about Lei. I really loved her development, conflicts and how she got through them! She became a more skilled fighter, more confident, and an even better friend. She learned to act not just upon her heart, but use logic too. But throughout the book, she grew up so much! She acted upon her feelings and made a lot of mistakes. While that's a good thing, it's not great to be too impulsive. Why is that?īecause in the previous book, she summoned up the courage to defy authority. She grows defiant of the laws, and becomes a bit reckless. After Lei "killed" the Demon King, Lei has become more brave. So remember how in my previous review, I mentioned that Lei was a Mary Sue? Well guess what! She had more flaws in this book. Lei: I really liked Lei in this book! She was sweet, kind, considerate, and quite selfless too. ![]() ![]() I will briefly cover my favorite side characters as well. Lei definitely improved in this book, but Wren kind of downgraded. So, there were some things I liked about the characters, and some things I did not like. Why? Because Wren became more annoying, and the plot kind of staggered. I did not like this one as much as the first one.
