Ôoku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 2 by Fumi Yoshinaga
3.0
A low 3 stars
TW: animal killed be human
I had to come back and try to understand why this was set before the first book. I would have liked a small prologue just to remind myself why that was, as I wouldn't have been so lost reading it.
I think I also vastly preferred the first book. I also hate when animals are killed.
It wasn't bad, but it felt like it was mostly setting the scene for the next book, so it wasn't great either.
I also was soooooo annoyed at the whole "thee/thou" and other such style choices to convey "oldness" of the time presented. It didn't helpe understand that this was the start of the archive read by the shogun of the first book, so the purpose for it was very weak.
On to the next, hopefully it improves a lot from this one
