I found this book quite different to what I was expecting, for whatever reason, but thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The pace certainly picks up towards the end, and I am now eagerly looking forward to reading the sequel. What attracted me to this book was its Japanese mythology elements, and I was not disappointed - I feel I've learnt quite a bit about Japanese myth and other things, namely historical/traditional objects and dress, and although the explanations of words can occasionally seem clunky within the text, I understand the need for this. I mean, as both a myth nerd and a sword nerd, what can I say?
