Dang, I was hoping that it was a spooky novel about neon.

Win!
I was hoping this was about the forest knights that protected the sacred words and were dedicated to garden design and innovative lumberjack methods.
Can’t be. I don’t see any shrubbery.
Yo, author: You misspelled “Meh.”
I thought it was a direction–north east. I didn’t catch it even though I knew the novel’s title.
Could be clever, if done well. It wasn’t.
Ne? Hey, dufus, that ain’t a neon light.
But it might be a better cover if it were. More colorful, at least.
Why a capital N? It hides that the light is actually the first letter of the title, and makes it read as ‘ONe;.
“Ne” literally means “No” in my language, so it’s really kind of perfect.
