A wonderful blend of myth and fiction, very readable and remarkably entralling. I want to find the remainder of the series NOW!

Though it is interesting and I will definitely give it another chance in the future, it simply didn't grip me.

Good story

I finished this book and immediately bought the next one in the series. That is a good recommendation for these books. Read them.
The world building is very good. I know some Japanese history, and I am comfortable with the descriptions and clans.

I remember getting into this book. Didn't carry on with the sequels but maybe I'll go back to it now that I remember I liked this one.
