What an adventure. What a journey. 970 pages later, the trip to 1600s feudal Japan that started in early of October has reached its conclusion. Much time, energy, and imagination was invested in this novel; it was worth every ounce of it. Contemplative and philosophical, it calls on to your inner spirit of perpetual growth in the aspects most practical in our life. Best book I've read in all of 2023. One of those books you're sad to finish.
