Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit by Nahoko Uehashi
4.0
Haruka Ayase
does this name sound familiar? maybe? I don’t think so!
Haruka Ayase is a popular Japanese actress
that I loved watching her playing the main character of my favorite book ( Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro ) which makes me search if she got any other tv show that I would like to watch and then I found that she got a tvshow going on of three seasons which is the adaptation of this book. Basically, Haruka Ayase is the main reason why I read this book.
anyway so of all my 500 friends here on Goodreads not single of them has read this book and only one marked it as to-read which made me feel sad because I usually start read a book after checking my lovely friend's opinions! so it was a quite good experience, to be honest
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit is my first Japanese fantasy story that I read and I must say this book was really good.
wow and Impressive that’s all I can say about it and I hope the second book doesn’t disappoint me
I don’t really know why I didn’t give it five stars maybe because of the weird character/places names 4.5/5
here are some excerpts from Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit by Nahoko Uehashi :
“The tiniest thing can make a difference between life and death.”
“but once you learn to fight, you seem to attract enemies…. Sooner or later, those who master the art of combat must end up fighting.”
“If you want to save someone in the middle of a fight, you can only do it by hurting someone else. While saving one person, you earn yourself two or three enemies. After a while, it becomes impossible to figure out how many people you’ve really saved”
“Flowers can’t move, yet the insects come to them and spread their pollen. Trees can’t move either, but birds and animals eat their fruit and carry their seeds far and wide.”
“Sometimes a kind person who lived a good and peaceful life is killed by some good-for-nothing who spent his entire life sponging off his family. You won’t find any fairness in this world.”
