Wow, what an epic. This book was an incredible ride. I found myself absolutely immersed in the story every time I picked it up. I was fascinated by the Japanese culture; it was completely foreign to me and yet made complete sense whenever Mariko explained the ways to Blackthorn. I loved how the end only hinted at a conclusion; because really, how can such an epic every really have an ending?

Book has arrived safe and sound, thank you for sharing :)

22 May 14 - I'm glad I started this book on holiday as it meant I got about a quarter of the way through before returning home and work getting in the way of reading time!

It's not that this is a bad book, I really enjoyed learning about some of the Japanese traditions. But it is a long book with a lot of characters, some with similar names which can get confusing. Plus it all seemed to build up to something that just didn't happen.

This book took me months to read! I started it in August and finished it in January! However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was however, relieved to get to page 1125! I don't really know how to review it. I knew I would enjoy it very quickly and found myself immersed into Japan with the Anjin San. A great novel that I'm glad I read.

To taken from Cfreckles bookbox purely to ensure it remained under 2kg! It may be some time until I get to this and by all accounts will be a long time reading too ;-)
