This book sits on the top shelf with my other favorites. I think I love it so much cause it is different from anything I would normally read and the fact that it is so well written. Everything is described in detail like I can see it in front of me. Another thing I love are the characters in the book. They are all so different but their feelings become my feelings, especially the main character.

Hoshi'tiwa has to be one of my favorite female characters of all time. And it's not just because her time setting is one of my favortites as well, it's because of who she is. She's strong, she can be extremely sad without completely losing her head, and she's able to stick to her heroic cause after both of her beloveds die (which I completely balled over).

Until the end I would have given this book 4 stars. The end kind of killed it for me.
That being said, this was a wonderful read. I am a very quick reader and this took me over a week. Mainly because I needed to stop, and think about what I was reading.
I do reccomend this book.
