Possibly the best book in the Monogatari series apart from Kizumonogatari. Such an incredible piece of fiction and use of unreliable narration.

I was in shock when I finished this book. I couldn't believe what the protagonist had done. I can't say anything else because it would be a spoiler.

I enjoyed this monster tale but I have to admit I was confused about who was narrating the story at first and it became an annoyance when Nadeko kept referring to herself in 3rd person and swapping between 1st and 3rd.
