Format:Paperback
These are easily the best books i have read in its genre, as they are a brilliant mix of betrayal, love, religion clashes, war and fantasy, which the author manages to pull off successfully.
The book series follows a boy from childhood to adulthood while he falls in love with the beautiful Kaede and gradually rises from his humble beginnings to someone more powerful and out of character.
The reason i am reviewing the whole set instead of just one by one is that it is hard to read just one of the books without reading the next or the next. I have just started reading the 4th in the series (recently come out) and when i look back i realise i cannot tell one book from the other, they just merge to together, which is a great compliment, as some other books often feel a bit disjointed.
My favourite thing is how beautifully written these books are, Lian Hearn really knows what she is talking about as she bases her story around medieval Japan while adding fantasy to fact effectively.
So if you are into this genre of fantasy with action, love and betrayal involved then i can thoroughly recommend this series of books as i have not had any disappointments yet.

I was spell-bound and read all three books in under a week. What I experienced left me emotionally drained and gasping for more...if you are looking for a good book, don't just buy one book, buy all three of these. Hearn writes with incredible beauty and this trilogy spins out spectacularly.

A good introduction to fantasy, suitable for young adults. Exciting, but strangely not that memorable afterwards. Read more

grips you and does not let you go
It's much more of real Japan here than medieval myths and difficult names for a Western ear - rather it is an exciting blend of coming-of-age story mixed with fantasy and romance. Read more
