Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh
4.0
"Does the boy not make you uncomfortable?" he finally asked, his voice inexplicably hesitant. "Does he not- make you ask yourself strange questions?"
Me, knowing where this is going:
I'm a sucker for samurai stories, I'm a sucker for YA fiction and I'm a sucker for forbidden romances. So Flame in The Mist had me coming and going.
I'll dispense with the normal plot summary, and just say that this is a great little book - the characters are well cut and the plot ticks along at a good pace. I was never bored, and couldn't wait to get on to the next book, to find out what Mariko learns of the dangers in the emperor's court...
