A review by vsbedford
Emperor of the Eight Islands by Lian Hearn

3.0

A combination of Japanese-ish history and folklore and some serious Falcon Crest-style scheming, double crosses, and random deaths. I would have given this 4 out of 5 but a sexual assault in the final chapter that just (at this point in the book series) serves to instigate a moral and spiritual crisis for the perpetrator really sucked.

I received an e-ARC from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
