Lovely War by Akemi Sakamoto https://padlet.com/asaka001/hyi82ghhcaij6n19 en-us 2024-08-26 03:43:56 UTC 2024-08-26 11:13:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Tone asaka001 https://padlet.com/asaka001/hyi82ghhcaij6n19/wish/3087874719 Lovely War carries a very serious and blunt tone throughout the book. One example is when Hades and Ares described what happened to Collete's loved ones on pages 120 and 121. They didn't really share any of there emotions, they simply described the events in a very blunt and serious manner.

This is particularly shown in pages 115 through 122, as the Gods and Godesses describe Collette and Stephanes love as it's followed by Stephanes death and Collette's sadness.

"I'm the source of love...but no one will ever truly love me. The fountain of passion, but I will never truly know a true passion of my own." As the goddess of love, Aphrodite thinks highly of herself but deep down, she's really just a girl thirsting for what she helps others receive. Her true motive and role throughout the story is to describe what it truly means to love, to her husband that knows nothing of the sort.

The author can write so well and has a knack for making the reader feel the characters true emotion. A quote that demonstrates this is, "I'm the source of love but no one will ever truly love me. The fountain of passion, but I will never know a true passion of my own." - Aphrodite page 12

    I love this quote because it shows how special Aphrodite is to the people around her, even if she doesn't know it.

    "You're a brand-new piece of sheet music for a song which, once played, I'd swear I'd always known." - Page 49

    This quote is so beautiful especially because the one saying it is a pianist.
