The final of the trilogy of the Otari is bittersweet and gripping I loved it. The way secrets were revealed and the subtle rumblings of a new enemy emerging kept me gripped the whole way through.

I really enjoyed this ending to the story and I know that it will stay with me for a long time

Un livre envouhatant, des personnages attachants, un univers exeptionnel. Encore un coup de coeur. J'adore, j'achete, je surkiffe. C'est vraiment l'une des meilleurs saga  possible. L'esprit médievale est top et rajoute un certain cachet; en plus les descriptions sont merveilleuses!!!

I loved this. A fitting end to what has been a brilliant trilogy. I'm so pleased I stumbled onto these. I may look up the two connected books in future.

Again I feel sad parting with this book, the last book was pretty good, the ending was perfect.

I am looking forward to the prequel.

The best of The Tales of Otori yet. The depth of each character, even minor characters in the book, is enchanting. For some reason I thought the author was a man and I was so surprised because I had never read women protagonists so well written by men, but of course just discovered Lian Hearn is in fact a woman! This series has some of the most honest and powerful women characters I have read and I love every second of their inner monologues. I highly recommend listening to the audio books which switches back and forth between a male and female narrator adding even more to the narrative switching from Kaede or Shizuka to Takeo in the book.
