I was immediately immersed into an exquisite story of
Japanese mythology with well-developed characters and with my more recent
experiences of reading from multiple POV’s I was ready and excited to see the
story develop from different perspectives.
With a setting in Japan I had high hopes for the world
building and of course it was fantastic; I was not disappointed. The description of the landscapes and architecture
were descriptive and true and I could see everything clearly in my mind.
What I liked most though was the blending of the
characters and each of their individual personalities. They complimented and contrasted each other
so well which made every dialogue interesting and engaging. I didn’t want to miss a thing!
This fantasy has it all with mythical creatures,
demons, kami-touched humans and samurai.
This quest and its companions offer a magical story that discovers new friends
and reveals secrets all the way to the ending… that you will not be expecting! I loved this and can’t wait for the sequel!
