At the ending of book two I was worried about how much was left to be done and whether it would seem either rushed or all too easy.  But Hearn wrapped things up nicely with a mix of triumph and tragedy.  What I liked the most was the way she laid groundwork for the future beyond the trilogy without giving the impression she was just setting up sequels.  It made the world feel very lived in.

It&#39;s a typical setup of a village boy who is more than he seems.  But the setting gives it an interesting twist and the characters are deftly drawn in simple strokes.  The setup might be familiar but the author manages to avoid the ruts of the fantasy tale with her plot.

He must survive at all cost and take what has been promised to him. But he must do this without his beloved Kaede, who is captured and may never see him again. <br /><br />I&#39;m sorry to say that by this book, the magic just faded. It seemed to drag on until the end. Still, a good ending.

And also to return to his beloved Kaede, who is now the mistress of her own property. She must cunningly and cleverly make her decisions in order to survive the powerful men around her. <br /><br />Another good read, however, I felt like the story was stretching a bit.

He soon discovers that his rescue and adoption is no coincidence, and that he plays an important role in the clan&#39;s future. But a secret organization claims Takeo to be theirs and will stop at nothing to obtain him. <br /><br />Vivid imagery and a gripping story. Worth reading.
