The set up is painfully slow. Especially if the reader is well versed in the time period. Highlights are when Japanese culture is highlighted. The obtuseness of the main is at times necessary as a foil to others around him but i found that hard to tolerate at times. A good read overall and I plan to continue the series but not at breakneck pace.
