I enjoyed the new interpretations of Japanese myths and stories and especially liked comparing the story the author wrote with the original tale it was based off of. The writing generally had an amused and lighthearted tone to it, employing different styles and perspectives.
There is a thrill that comes with reading each new story and being able to somewhat piece things together. It all reads like a calm insight into a world similar to our own, but slightly different.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, and would recommend it to others.
