There are many things I loved about this book. It is beautifully written and the characters are engaging. I particularly loved the character development of Katrina and her relationship with Shizuka. My only major criticism is about the mixing of fantasy with science fiction (two genres that I love). I was never fully convinced by the merging of the two worlds in the novel.
