I really enjoyed this one. Elements of found family, a deep & loyal friendship, a main character with a fighting spirit, and a crew that brings experience and betrayal.

This is classed as YA, but for some reason it read middle grade to me which I absolutely loved. Kurara and Haru have a strong friendship and a history that goes back beyond what Kurara remembers. The separation of sky people and land dwellers called groundlings is severe and is portrayed really well when Kurara joins the ship that hunts Shinigami.

I really love an author who can give me characters that I can instantly know that I am going to root for. Add in court intrigue and royal familial strife and I'm all in. Can't wait for the next installment.
